Ingredients

  • 1 (3 1/2-ounce) salmon fillet, skin and bones removed (I used wild-caught) Olive oil spray (from a spray bottle, not a store-bought, prefilled one that contains propellant; I used a Misto)
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun or blackened seasoning (choose one where salt is not listed as the first ingredient)
  • 1 (about 3 1/2-inch-diameter) whole-grain or whole-wheat hamburger bun
  • 1/4 cup arugula leaves or other green lettuce
