Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200˚C, fan 180˚C. Rub the salmon fillet all over with the oil and the Cajun seasoning. Place on a baking tray lined with foil and bake for 12-15 mins until the corner of the fillet flakes away when pressed.
- Meanwhile, toss together the mango, red onion, pepper, cabbage, red chilli, lime juice and chopped coriander. Season with a pinch of salt and set aside for 10 mins to allow the flavours to come together.
- Heat the rice to pack instructions. Serve with the salmon fillet and the slaw, along with the wedge of lime.
- Leftovers: Add the red onion and pepper to a lunchtime couscous salad with chopped cherry tomatoes, cucumber and crumbled feta.
- Tip: Blitz the remaining mango into a breakfast smoothie or scatter over porridge (make porridge with coconut milk for extra tropical flavour).
