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:

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!
