  6. Add chicken broth and cream to the skillet and bring to a boil.

  7. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.

  8. Remove salmon fillet from the skin and place it in the skillet with the sauce.

  9. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through.

Tips

  • For a spicier dish, add more Cajun seasoning to taste.

  • For a healthier dish, use whole-wheat pasta and low-fat or fat-free chicken broth.

  • To make ahead, prepare the dish up to step 9 and then cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, remove from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Bake in a preheated oven at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 15 minutes, or until heated through.

Enjoy!
