Instructions

1- Prepare the Salmon Marinade:

Begin by washing and patting dry the salmon fillets.
In a bowl, combine the melted butter, dark soy sauce, Cajun seasoning, dried parsley, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a marinade.

2- Marinate the Salmon:

Pour the marinade over the salmon fillets. Rub it evenly over the fish to ensure each piece is well coated.

3- Bake the Salmon:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the marinated salmon fillets on it.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, depending on the size of your salmon fillets, or until fully cooked.

4- Prepare the Salad:

While the salmon is baking, slice the red onion, cucumber, and tomatoes.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced vegetables.
Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then add salt to taste. Toss the salad until all ingredients are well mixed.

5- Serve:

Once the salmon is out of the oven, serve it over a portion of steamed white rice.
Add the salad on the side. Enjoy your delicious, well-balanced meal!
