Flavorful Cajun-spiced salmon cooked until tender and served over rice with a fresh avocado orange salsa. A vibrant and satisfying bowl packed with sweet, spicy, and citrusy flavors.

Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets
  • 2 tsp Cajun spice mix
  • 2 tsp light brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp oil
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1 orange, peeled and chopped into chunks
  • 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 20 g coriander (cilantro) leaves, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • Pinch of salt and pepper
  • Steamed or boiled rice
  • Chopped cucumber
  • Sesame seeds
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the air fryer basket. Sprinkle with Cajun spice, brown sugar, salt, and pepper, then drizzle or spray with oil.
  2. Air fry at 200C/400F for 8-10 minutes until the salmon is cooked through. Alternatively, bake in a preheated 200C/400F oven for 12-15 minutes.
  3. While the salmon cooks, prepare the salsa by combining the avocado, orange, red onion, coriander, jalapeno, lime juice, lime zest, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. Toss gently to combine.
  4. Divide the cooked rice between two serving bowls.
  5. Top each bowl with a salmon fillet, cucumber chunks, and half of the salsa.
  6. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, add lime wedges, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Adjust the jalapeno amount to suit your preferred spice level.
  • Mango can be substituted for part of the orange for a sweeter salsa.
  • Cook time may vary depending on the thickness of the salmon fillets.
  • Best served fresh, but leftover salsa can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.
