Instructions

Get Started
1
  • Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
  • Pat the salmon dry with kitchen paper and season with salt and pepper.
  • Lay the salmon onto a lined baking tray. Sprinkle over a third of the Mexican style spice mix
  • When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until the fish is cooked, 10-15 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw fish. Cook so they're opaque in the middle.
Cook the Rice

  • Meanwhile, boil a half-full kettle.
  • Pour the boiled water into a large saucepan with ¼ tsp salt on high heat. Add the rice and cook for 10-12 mins.
  • Once cooked, drain in a sieve and pop back in the pan. Cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve.
  • Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.
  • Crush the peanuts in the unopened sachet using a rolling pin.
Fry Time

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
  • When hot, add the pepper. Fry, 5-6 mins.
  • Add the remaining Mexican style spice mix. Fry, 1 min.
  • Add the passata, veg stock paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both).
  • Simmer, 3-4 mins. Add the spinach in handfuls, making sure it's piping hot, 1-2 mins.
