• 1 Tbsp. Simply Better Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 2 Tbsp. Simply Better Organic Cajun Spice Seasoning
• Knob of Butter

For the Italian Pepper Dressing:

• 2 Tbsp. Simply Better Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 10 Simply Better Tomistar Cherry Tomatoes, cut in half
• 3 Simply Better Italian Grilled Peppers, diced

• 1 Tsp White Wine Vinegar
• Zest of ½ Lemon
• 2 Tbsp. Fresh Basil, finely shredded
• Sea salt, to season

To Serve:

• Mixed Green Salad

METHOD

1. To make the Italian Pepper Dressing, heat a non-stick pan over a medium heat. Add in the olive oil followed by the diced red onion. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened but not coloured.
2. Add in the tomatoes followed by the caster sugar, white wine vinegar and lemon zest. Stir to combine everything together. Add in the diced roasted red peppers followed by the basil & season with sea salt. Remove from the heat and set aside until required.
3. Place the Cajun spice in a shallow dish and coat each salmon darne, shaking off any excess. Heat a non-stick pan over a medium heat with the olive oil.
4. Add some butter and carefully place the salmon in the preheated pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until just cooked through, using a spoon to baste the salmon as it cooks.
5. Serve immediately with the green salad, roasted baby potatoes or rice and drizzle over the Italian Pepper Dressing.
