Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or Gas Mark 6.

Prepare the Salmon:

• Pat the salmon fillets dry with kitchen paper.
• Drizzle the olive oil over the salmon fillets and rub it in to ensure an even coating.
• Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning generously over each fillet, pressing it lightly to adhere.
• Season with a little salt and pepper if desired.

Cook the Salmon:

• Place the seasoned salmon fillets on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
• If you prefer a charred finish, you can place the salmon under a hot grill for the last 2 minutes of cooking.

Prepare the Mango Salsa:

• While the salmon is cooking, combine the diced mango, red onion, red bell pepper, cucumber, and chili (if using) in a medium bowl.
• Squeeze the lime juice over the salsa, add the chopped coriander, and season with a pinch of salt.
• Toss everything together until well mixed.

Serve:

• Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a minute.
• Serve the Cajun-spiced salmon fillets topped with a generous spoonful of mango salsa.
• Optionally, squeeze a little lemon juice over the top before serving.
