Method

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

Blitz the remaining mango into a breakfast smoothie or scatter over porridge (make porridge with coconut milk for extra tropical flavour).
