Ingredients

For the salmon:
1 tbsp

JS Cajun Seasoning
4

salmon fillets
1

organic orange, zest and juice
3 tbsp

olive oil
2

courgettes
3

carrots
1

red onion
salt, to taste
For the sauce:
2 tsp

Dijon mustard
200 ml

vegetable stock
remaining juice from the orange
150 g

crème fraiche

Method

Season the salmon fillets lightly with salt. In a mixing bowl, combine the orange zest, 3 tbsp orange juice, 2 tbsp olive oil and the Cajun Seasoning. Add the salmon fillets to the marinade, making sure they are well coated. Set aside for 10 minutes to let the flavours infuse.

While the salmon marinates, prepare the vegetables. Trim the ends off the courgettes and chop them into thick slices. Peel the carrots and chop them into similar-sized slices. Peel the red onion and slice it into thin strips.

Preheat the air fryer to 180°C. In a mixing bowl, toss the courgettes, carrots and red onion with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Place the vegetables in the air fryer basket and cook for 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, place the marinated salmon fillets on top of the vegetables in the air fryer basket. Continue cooking for an additional 10–12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the salmon is cooked through but still slightly pink in the centre and the vegetables are tender but still al dente.

In a small saucepan, add the remaining orange juice and vegetable stock. Stir in the crème fraiche and Dijon mustard, and let the mixture simmer gently for about 5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly.

Place the salmon fillets onto plates and arrange the vegetables alongside. Finish with a big spoonful of the creamy mustard sauce.
