Cook: 25 minutes

Serves: 4-6

This looks spectacular served on a large platter or board and a lovely way for everyone to tuck in and assemble their own.

Method:

  • Mix all the ingredients for the fajita seasoning together in a small bowl. Preheat the oven to 180°C/Fan 160°C/Gas 4.
  • Line a large baking tray with a sheet of baking parchment.
  • Place the onion and peppers on one side of the baking tray.
  • Drizzle with a tablespoon of the oil and toss with a tablespoon of the fajita seasoning mix. Place the tray in the oven for about 10 minutes while you prepare the salmon.
  • Place the salmon on a large plate and drizzle with the remaining oil. Rub the oil all over the fish, then scatter over the rest of the fajita seasoning.
  • Remove the tray of peppers and onion from the oven, give them a toss and place the salmon alongside, skin-side down.
  • Put the tray back in the oven for 15 minutes until just cooked.
  • Spritz the salmon and peppers with lime juice and add a couple of slices of lime for decoration. Season with salt as desired and sprinkle with coriander or parsley - I like parsley.
  • To make the mango salsa, mix together all the ingredients and garnish with lime.
  • Serve with warm tortillas, slices of avocado and some soured cream or labneh, with the mango salsa on the side.
