Enjoy a vibrant Mediterranean-inspired dinner featuring perfectly seared salmon served alongside tender roasted zucchini and hearty chickpeas, all accented with lemon, garlic, and oregano for a burst of flavor. This dish brings together olive oil-infused richness and bright citrus notes to create a balanced, nutrient-packed meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup canned Chickpeas (drained)
1 cup Zucchini slices
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Dried Oregano
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, then add the olive oil.
Once the oil is shimmering, add the salmon fillet skin side down and sear for 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 3 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through. Squeeze half of the lemon juice over the salmon and remove from heat.
While the salmon cooks, preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss the zucchini slices with a drizzle of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper, and spread on a baking sheet. Roast for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
In a small pan, warm the chickpeas over medium-low heat with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a splash of lemon juice to meld the flavors for about 3-4 minutes.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the roasted zucchini and spiced chickpeas. Drizzle the remaining lemon juice over everything to finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy this Mediterranean-inspired meal.
