Cooking Steps

Cook the garlic rice
1

• Finely chop garlic.
• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Add basmati rice, the water and the salt, then bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat.
• Keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes.

Get prepped
2

• Meanwhile, roughly chop tomato and cucumber. Thinly slice spring onion.
• Zest lemon to get a good pinch, then slice into wedges.
• In a medium bowl, combine tomato, cucumber, spring onion, a squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• In a small bowl, combine Greek-style yoghurt and lemon zest. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Cook the salmon
3

• SPICY! This is a mild spice blend, but use less if you’re sensitive to heat. When the rice has 10 minutes remaining, pat salmon dry with a paper towel and season both sides with Tex-Mex spice blend.
• Set air fryer to 200°C. Place salmon skin-side up into the air fryer basket and cook until just cooked through, 10-12 minutes.

TIP: No air fryer? In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, cook salmon, skin-side down first, until just cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side. Remove from heat, then season.

Finish & serve
4

• Stir baby spinach leaves through garlic rice.
• Divide spinach garlic rice between bowls. Top with Baja salmon, zesty salsa and a dollop of lemon yoghurt.
• Crumble over fetta cubes. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
