Method
  1. Mix the ingredients for the Cajun spice mix together.

  3. COOKING Prepare the potatoes during that time. Wash the unpeeled potatoes well. Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork tender. Pour out the water and steam the potatoes.
  4. Add the mustard seeds and half the Buttery spread to the potatoes, and then mix.
  5. Pour the potatoes onto a baking sheet and carefully crush the potatoes by pressing them flat with a cup, glass or the base of a bottle.
  6. Brush lemon oil on the surface of the potatoes and sprinkle with salt and fresh rosemary. Bake at 225 degrees on the middle shelf of the oven for 15 minutes.
  7. Heat 1 ½ tbsp of Buttery spread in a frying pan. Lift the salmon pieces into the pan and reduce the heat. Depending on the thickness of the fillets, fry at medium heat for 5–7 minutes on each side.
  8. Brush the salmon fillets with Benecol Buttery Taste spread. Serve with crushed potatoes.
