Cooking Steps

1
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut sweet potato and capsicum into bite-sized chunks. • Place veggies on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the veggies between two trays.

• Meanwhile, roughly chop snacking tomatoes. • Thinly slice spring onion. • Drain sweetcorn.

• Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook corn kernels until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. • Transfer to a medium bowl. Set aside to cool slightly.

TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the kernels are 'popping' out.

• SPICY! You may find the spice blend hot. Add less if you're sensitive to heat and substitute with a little more flour. Pat salmon dry with a paper towel. On a plate, combine Mexican Fiesta spice blend, the plain flour, the salt and a pinch of pepper. Add salmon, gently turning to coat. • Return frying pan to medium-high heat with the butter and a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook salmon, skin-side down first, until just cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side.

• While salmon is cooking, to the bowl with corn, add tomato and spring onion. • Add a drizzle of the white wine vinegar and olive oil. • Toss to coat. Season to taste.
