INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 medium Zucchini
1/2 cup Chickpeas, drained
0.25 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
0.5 tsp Dried Oregano
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry and season with salt, pepper, and a light sprinkle of dried oregano.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the 0.25 tbsp of olive oil.
Sear the salmon for about 3-4 minutes per side until a golden crust forms and the fish is just cooked through. Squeeze a little lemon juice over the salmon during the last minute of cooking.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 425°F. Slice the zucchini into rounds or half-moons and toss with a bit of salt, pepper, minced garlic, and the remaining lemon juice.
Spread the zucchini on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Rinse and drain the chickpeas, then add them to the baking sheet for the final 5 minutes of roasting to warm through.
Plate the seared salmon alongside the roasted zucchini and chickpeas. Optionally, garnish with an extra drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of oregano for a fresh Mediterranean finish.
