Cooking Instructions
Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
- Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper
- Pull out a peeler, a sieve & 2 medium bowls
Get started
- Peel and halve the squash lengthways, discard the seeds, and cut into 2cm chunks
- Place the squash onto a lined baking tray and toss with half the Cajun spice, 1 tsp oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast for 20 mins
- Place the salmon, skin-side down, onto the other lined baking tray, sprinkle with the remaining Cajun spice (use less for less heat), 1 tsp oil and salt and pepper. Bake for 20 mins, until cooked through
Make the bean salsa
- Finely chop the coriander. Finely dice the onion
- Drain and rinse the beans and place into a medium bowl. Add half the coriander, half the onion, the juice from half the lime and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well, then set aside
Pico de gallo time
- Halve the tomatoes. Deseed and finely dice the chilli. Pick any woody stalks from the kale, then finely chop a small handful. Thinly slice the avocado
- Place the tomatoes, chopped kale and half the chilli (or to taste) into the other medium bowl with the remaining coriander, onion and the juice from the remaining lime. Season with salt and mix well
Build the flavour
- After 20 mins of roasting the squash, add the chipotle paste (or to taste) to the tray and mix to coat. Add the remaining kale to the other side of the tray and toss with 1 tsp oil and a pinch of salt. Roast for another 5-6 mins, until the squash is soft and golden, and the kale is crisp
Plate up
- Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork
- Serve the salmon into bowls, with the crispy kale, black beans salsa and pico de gallo alongside. Top with the avocado. Garnish with the remaining chilli (for those who’d like it)
