Seared Salmon with Herbed Rice and Roasted Chickpeas
Pan-seared salmon fillet served over zesty herbed brown rice and crunchy roasted chickpeas, finished with a cooling cucumber-dill salad.
INGREDIENTS
7.5 oz Wild Atlantic Salmon
1/4 cup Canned Chickpeas
1/3 cup Cooked Brown Rice
2 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 cup Sliced Cucumber
1 tbsp Fresh Dill
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the chickpeas dry with a paper towel, toss with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt, then roast for 20 minutes until they are golden and crunchy.
While the chickpeas roast, combine the cooked brown rice with finely chopped fresh dill and half of the lemon juice.
Season the salmon fillet generously with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is perfectly crisp.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the fish is just opaque and flakes easily.
Toss the sliced cucumber with the remaining lemon juice and any leftover herbs.
Serve the seared salmon over the herbed rice, garnished with the roasted chickpeas and the refreshing cucumber salad on the side.
