Prepare the salmon:
Pat dry the salmon fillets with paper towel.
Rub the Mexican spice blend over the salmon, ensuring an even coating.
Season with salt and pepper.
Cook the salmon:
Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the pan.
Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your liking.
Remove from the pan and set aside to rest.
Prepare the vegetables:
Drain sweetcorn., roughly chop silverbeet and finely chop the garlic.

Add cabbage, snow pea pods, aioli (reserve a teaspoon to drizzle) and a drizzle of olive oil and white wine vinegar to the bowl of veggies. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
