Method

1

Heat oven to 200°C. Season the salmon fillets with Cajun seasoning and bake for 12–15 minutes until cooked through.

2

Cook the rice according to packet instructions, then drain and cool slightly.

3

Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the cooked rice for 5–6 minutes, stirring often, until it turns crispy in places.

4

Stir through the diced red pepper, sweetcorn and spring onions, and cook for 2–3 minutes more.

5

Mix together the mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey and garlic powder. Add warm water a teaspoon at a time until drizzling consistency.

6

Serve the crispy rice salad topped with the flaked Cajun salmon and drizzle over the creamy mayo dressing.

Tips & Notes

  • A fresher, lighter tea partway through the week, and a good way to use up rice and veg.
  • No sriracha? A dash of hot sauce or a pinch of chilli flakes works too.
  • Leftover dressing keeps in the fridge for a few days — great on wraps or salads.
