Ingredients
- Smoky BBQ fajita spice mix seasoning
- 700g salmon fillet piece
- 1 pineapple, peeled cored and diced
- 1 red pepper, diced
- 1g dried chilli flakes
- Juice of 2 limes
- 150g agave
- 25g fresh coriander, chopped
Method
Step 1
Descale the salmon and slash along the skin to allow the heat to penetrate when cooking, rub all over with the fajita seasoning, and season the skin with some salt.Step 2
Heat a large frying pan and drizzle with a little oil, add the salmon skin side down on a low heat and slowly fry (careful not to burn the skin, we want this to crisp up).Step 3
While the salmon is slowly cooking, chop the pineapple and pepper, and add the tequila lime and agave to make a sticky salsa, with some dried chilies to add some heat.Step 4
After a short time the salmon should be starting to cook through, you will see the salmon turning a different lighter pink, as this spreads through the salmon, gently turn over to cook the other side, the skin should be crispy and dark brown.Step 5
After cooking the salmon for another 10 minutes or so, transfer the salmon to a serving dish and generously topped with the salsa, breaking and flaking the salmon. Great served with tortilla wraps.
