12 Minute Baked Salmon Fajitas
Recipe video above. Here is a big Fajita dinner spread that's all cooked in the oven at the same time! Caramelised cubes of salmon heavily seasoned with a Fajita spice blend, colourful fajita vegetables and a pile of steamy warm tortillas, just add sliced avocado and make a simple taco sauce while they're in the oven. I used my new Creamy Jalapeño Sauce but if that's out of reach or you're worried about spiciness (it's got a little zing), either use my Instant Pink Taco Sauce or just plain sour cream.

FULL RECIPE
4
Preheat oven to 240°C/465°F (220°C fan-forced).
5
Crinkled foil trick for baking fish – Lightly scrunch up foil, then gently unfold it so it stays wrinkled. Lots of little pointing bits = good! The wrinkles lift the fish slightly, preventing sticking and soggy undersides – clever Japanese fish-cooking trick (thanks mum!). Place on one side of the tray and fold the edges over the rim to secure. Repeat with another sheet to cover the whole tray.
6
Fajita flavour fish - Mix the Fajita seasoning ingredients in a bowl, it should be like a thin paste. Add fish and toss to coat. Spread out on the foil so the salmon is not touching each other.
7
Toss veg - On a separate large tray, toss capsicum and onion with the oil, garlic and salt. Spread it out in a single layer.
8
Wrap stack of tortillas in foil (make 2 parcels).
9
Bake everything - Put the salmon on the top shelf, vegetables on the middle shelf and tortillas into the oven (I put them on the floor of the oven but don’t do this if your heat element is there, mine comes from the back). Bake ⏱️ 12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes (don't turn or toss).
10
Sauce - Meanwhile, put the sauce ingredients in a small jug and blitz with stick blender until smooth.

SERVING
12
Lay everything out - Transfer the salmon and vegetable onto a serving platter, pour all tray juices over. Place warmed tortillas, sauce, avocado, lime wedges and coriander on the side.
