Cooking Steps

1

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Cut butternut pumpkin into bite-sized chunks. • Place pumpkin on a lined oven tray. Season with salt and drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. TIP: Peel the pumpkin if you prefer and scrape out the seeds, if necessary!

2

• Finely chop garlic. • Thinly slice carrot into half-moons. • Trim green beans. • In a small bowl combine the honey, soy sauce, sesame seeds and half the garlic.

3

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add carrot, green beans and a dash of water and cook, tossing, until just tender, 5-6 minutes. • Add remaining garlic and baby spinach leaves and cook until fragrant and wilted, 1 minute. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. • Transfer veggies to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

4

• While veggies are cooking, set your air fryer to 200°C. Pat salmon dry with paper towel and season both sides. Place salmon skin-side up into the air fryer basket, drizzle with olive oil and cook until just cooked through, 10-12 minutes. Cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded.

TIP: No air fryer? Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Pat salmon dry with paper towel and season both sides. When oil is hot, add salmon, skin-side down first, to the pan. Cook until almost cooked through, 2-4 minutes on each side (depending on thickness). TIP: Patting the skin dry helps it crisp up in the pan!

5

• In the last 2 minutes of cook time, brush over honey-soy mixture and cook until browned and sticky.

TIP: No air fryer? To pan, in the last minute of cook time, add glaze mixture to the pan and cook until bubbling, gently turning to coat.

6

• Divide the pumpkin and garlicky pan-fried greens between plates. • Top with the honey-sesame glazed salmon and spoon over any excess glaze to serve. Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: The honey-sesame glaze was delicious, beautifully matching the salmon. Some found it a bit bland and added extra soy sauce for more punch.
  • Ease of prep: Many loved how quick and simple it was to prepare, especially using the air fryer for the salmon.
  • Suggestions: Try adding Asian greens like pak choi for variety. Consider including brown rice as a healthier, more filling option.
  • Leftovers: Some found the salmon portions a bit small; consider buying extra if serving hungry eaters.
