Crispy Chickpea and Quinoa Salad with Roasted Vegetables
Oven-roasted chickpeas and colorful vegetables tossed with fluffy quinoa and topped with a pan-seared salmon fillet, finished with a bright and zesty lemon-herb drizzle.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1/4 cup Canned Chickpeas
1/4 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/2 cup Diced Zucchini
1/4 cup Diced Red Bell Pepper
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the chickpeas, diced zucchini, and bell peppers with half of the olive oil and dried oregano on the prepared sheet.
Roast the vegetables and chickpeas for 20 minutes until the chickpeas are slightly crisp and the vegetables are tender.
While roasting, cook the quinoa according to package directions or use pre-cooked quinoa warmed through.
Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper, then sear in a non-stick pan with the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side.
Fluff the quinoa with a fork and toss it with the roasted vegetables and chickpeas.
Plate the quinoa mixture and top with the seared salmon fillet, finishing with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice.
