Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets (6oz each)
  • 2 tbsp harissa paste
  • 2 tbsp wildflower honey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 can chickpeas (drained/dried)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil and smoked paprika, then spread them on one side of the tray; roast for 10 minutes.
3
In a small bowl, whisk together the harissa paste and honey to create a thick, vibrant glaze.

Place the salmon fillets on the remaining side of the baking sheet and generously brush each with the harissa-honey mixture.

Return the tray to the oven and roast for another 10-12 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Meanwhile, stir the minced garlic into the Greek yogurt with a squeeze of lemon juice.

Serve the salmon topped with crispy chickpeas, a dollop of cool garlic yogurt, and a final flourish of fresh cilantro for a balanced, restaurant-quality finish.
