Method
1. Season the salmon with salt and pepper, and heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the salmon and cook it for 3 minutes each side or until it's browned.
2. Meanwhile, combine the cornflour, garlic, fennel seeds, stock, orange juice and maple syrup in a medium jug, before seasoning it with salt and pepper. Add the maple mixture to pan and sprinkle with asparagus. Cook this for 4 minutes or until the salmon is cooked just the way you like it and the sauce thickens.
3. Meanwhile, cook the rice mix following packet directions.
4. Top the salmon with sliced orange and decorate it with mint. Serve with the rice mix and dig in!
