4 Scottish salmon fillets, skinned
1½ tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp Cooks’ Ingredients Deep South Cajun rub
4 tbsp low fat mayonnaise
2 tbsp cider or white wine vinegar
200g pack sugar snap peas, shredded lengthways
150g pack French breakfast radishes, trimmed and thinly sliced
½ x 20g pack chives, cut into 1cm lengths
2 x 250g pouches Merchant Gourmet Red & White Quinoa

Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Brush the top and sides of the salmon fillets with the oil and sprinkle each with the Cajun rub; turn to coat, then season. Put on a nonstick baking tray and roast for 16-18 minutes until cooked through, opaque and flaking easily.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl whisk the mayonnaise and vinegar with 2 tbsp water. Add the shredded sugar snaps, sliced radishes and chives, then toss together; season and set aside. Cook the quinoa pouches according to pack instructions, then stir through the dressed veg. Divide the sugar-snap quinoa among 4 plates and top with the blackened salmon to serve.
