Everything's better in bowl form, and this salmon dish flavored with a garlicky za'atar dressing is no exception.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lemon, thinly sliced, seeds removed
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 (1 1/2-lb.) salmon fillet, preferably skin-on
1/2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more
Freshly ground black pepper
1 (15-oz.) can chickpeas, rinsed, patted dry
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 tsp. za'atar
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
4 cups baby arugula or baby spinach
4 radishes, trimmed, thinly sliced
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Place a rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 300°F. Toss lemon slices in a large bowl with a drizzle of oil. Arrange slices in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Set salmon on lemons. Season salmon all over with kosher salt and pepper, then drizzle and rub with some oil. Roast until salmon is just barely opaque in the middle, 12-17 minutes, depending on thickness. If you like your salmon well-done, cook it a few minutes longer, but keep in mind that you risk the chance it will dry out. Let salmon cool, then flake into medium-size pieces with a fork.
  • Meanwhile, bring chickpeas, garlic, za'atar, and remaining 1/2 cup oil to a bare simmer in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally and reducing heat if needed, 10 minutes. Stir in 1/2 tsp. kosher salt (less if your za'atar is salty) and remove skillet from heat.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer chickpeas to a medium bowl, leaving oil behind. Whisk lemon juice into oil; taste dressing and season with more kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper if needed.
  • Toss arugula in a large bowl with 1 tsp. dressing. Divide among bowls along with radishes, chickpeas, and salmon (and lemons if desired); drizzle with more dressing. Sprinkle with sea salt and more pepper.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chickpeas turned out mushy. I'll have to try this recipe again.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think I just need to adjust the amount of spices next time.

I wasn't a fan of the lemon flavor in this dish. I think I would have preferred it with a different sauce.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salmon didn't come out as crispy as I would have liked.

The salmon was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the chickpeas were delicious.

I've made this dish several times now and it's always a hit with my family. The salmon is always moist and flavorful, and the chickpeas are a great addition that adds a bit of texture and flavor.

This lemony salmon and spiced chickpeas recipe was an absolute delight! The salmon was cooked to perfection, with a crispy skin and tender, flaky flesh. The chickpeas were flavorful and complemented the salmon beautifully.
