INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Salmon Fillet
1.5 ounces dry Chickpea Pasta
2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Nonfat Greek Yogurt
2 cloves Garlic
1 Lemon
1 tablespoon Fresh Dill
Salt and Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Place the salmon fillet on a lined baking sheet and brush it generously with the garlic lemon marinade.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until just cooked through and flaky.
While the salmon bakes, cook the chickpea pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the nonfat Greek yogurt, the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, a bit more lemon juice, and freshly chopped dill to make a light, creamy sauce.
Toss the hot chickpea pasta with the creamy yogurt dressing, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Plate a serving of the creamy chickpea pasta and top with the baked salmon fillet. Garnish with extra dill and a slice of lemon if desired.
