INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Chickpeas (drained canned)
1 cup Diced Tomatoes
1/4 cup Thinly Sliced Red Onion
1/2 cup Diced Cucumber
1 oz Crumbled Feta Cheese
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon skin-side down and sear for about 4 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until desired doneness is reached. Squeeze a little lemon juice over the salmon at the end of cooking.
While the salmon sears, prepare the chickpea tomato salad. In a medium bowl, combine the chickpeas, diced tomatoes, sliced red onion, and diced cucumber.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
Top the salad with crumbled feta cheese and adjust seasonings if needed.
Plate the seared salmon alongside a generous serving of the chickpea tomato salad. Drizzle any remaining dressing over the top and serve immediately.
