Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 240°C/465°F (220°C fan-forced).
In a small bowl, mix the fajita seasoning ingredients with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to create a thin paste.
Add the salmon cubes to the seasoning bowl and toss gently until every piece is evenly coated.
Line a baking tray with foil, crumpling the foil slightly before spreading it out to elevate the salmon and prevent sticking.
Arrange the seasoned salmon cubes on the tray in a single layer, leaving space between them for better caramelization.
On a separate large tray, toss the bell pepper strips and onion wedges with the remaining olive oil, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt.
Wrap the tortillas in two separate foil parcels.
Place the salmon on the top shelf, the vegetables on the middle shelf, and the tortilla parcels on the bottom/floor of the oven.
Bake for exactly 12 minutes until the salmon is lightly charred and flakes easily.
Remove from the oven, pour any flavorful tray juices over the salmon and vegetables, and serve immediately with fresh fixings.
💡 Chef's Tip
Using the 'wrinkled foil' method for the salmon is a Japanese-inspired technique that acts like tiny ridges, preventing the fish from sitting in its own juices and getting soggy. If you want a deeper char, you can broil the salmon for the final 1-2 minutes, but keep a close eye on it to avoid drying it out.
