Cooking Steps

Bake the sweet potato fries
1

Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut the sweet potato (unpeeled) into 1cm fries. Place on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Season with salt and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat, then bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.

TIP: Cut the sweet potato to size so it cooks in time.

Make the sesame crumb
2

While the fries are baking, combine the sesame seeds, panko breadcrumbs (see ingredients) and the sesame oil blend in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.

Crumb the salmon
3

Pat the salmon dry with paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper. Place, skin-side down, on a second oven tray lined with baking paper. Lightly drizzle the soy sauce over the salmon and then spoon over the sesame crumb. Gently press down so the crumb sticks.

TIP:It's OK if some of the sesame crust falls off!

Bake the salmon
4

In the last 8-12 minutes of the sweet potato cooking time, bake the salmon until it is just cooked through and the crumb is slightly golden.

TIP: Salmon can be served slightly blushing pink in the centre.

Make the salad
5

While the salmon is cooking, thinly slice the pear (see ingredients). In a small bowl, combine the rice wine vinegar and olive oil (2 tsp for 2 people / 1 tbs for 4 people), then season with salt and pepper. Add the mixed salad leaves and pear to the dressing and toss to coat.

Serve up
6

Divide the sweet potato fries, sesame-crumbed salmon and pear salad between plates. Serve with the mayonnaise.

TIP: For the Calorie Smart option, serve without the mayonnaise.
