Cooking Steps
• Drain sweetcorn. • Roughly chop baby spinach leaves. • Finely chop garlic. • Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook corn kernels until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the kernels are 'popping' out.
• Pat salmon dry with a paper towel and season both sides with Tex-Mex spice blend. • In a small bowl, combine garlic and a drizzle of olive oil. • Set air fryer to 200°C. Place salmon skin-side up into a foil-lined air fryer basket, drizzle with olive oil and cook until just cooked through, 10-12 minutes. • In the last 2-3 minutes of cook time, drizzle over garlic oil and cook until browned and fragrant.
TIP: No air fryer? Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook salmon, skin-side down first, until just cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side. In the last minute, add garlic and Tex-Mex seasoning and cook until fragrant, gently turning salmon to coat.
• To the charred corn, add slaw mix, spinach, smokey aioli and a drizzle of olive oil and white wine vinegar. Season and toss to combine.
• Divide Tex Mex seared salmon and charred corn slaw between plates. • Spoon over any extra garlic oil over salmon to serve. Enjoy!
