30 minute cajun salmon with salted lime butter











Sooo good.  My kids thought it was a little spicy but there's no way I'll tone it down.  We thought it was just right.
I lightened up the recipe a bit and it tastes so good we don't miss the extra oil and butter.

30 minute cajun salmon with salted lime butter (adapted from howsweeteats)
2 pound salmon filet
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

salted lime butter
combine the following:
1 tablespoon butter, melted
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/8 teaspoon salt

Preheat the broiler in your oven to high and set the oven rack about 6 inches below it.
Place the salmon on a baking pan that is lined with aluminum foil.
In a bowl combine the paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder and red pepper flakes.  Sprinkle evenly over the top of the salmon filet and  press gently to adhere.
Broil the salmon for 6-8 minutes or until just opaque and flakey with a fork.  Remove from the oven and cover with the lime butter.  Serve with rice and lime wedges for spritzing.
