- Toss the potatoes and peppers with half the oil and some seasoning, spread over a large baking sheet and cook in the oven for 25 minutes or until crispy and cooked through. Stir in the syrup and soy milk.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a heavy-based frying pan to high, and brush the maple and lime marinade over the salmon fillets, reserving the remaining mixture.
