Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Wash and peel the sweet potato, then cut it into 1/2-inch rounds or cubes for even roasting.
Toss the sweet potato pieces and asparagus in olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread evenly on a baking sheet.
Roast the vegetables in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, turning halfway through.
While the vegetables roast, season the salmon fillet with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of lemon juice.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon, skin-side down first if applicable, for about 4-5 minutes per side until a golden crust forms and the salmon is cooked to your liking.
For the chickpeas, if using raw chickpeas, make sure they’re cooked or use canned chickpeas (rinsed and drained); lightly toss them with a pinch of salt and a few drops of lemon juice. You can either warm them briefly or serve them at room temperature to add a protein boost.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the roasted sweet potatoes and asparagus, then sprinkle the chickpeas over the dish for added texture and protein.
Finish with an extra drizzle of lemon juice and a light seasoning of salt and pepper as desired.
