Smoky Salmon & Chickpea Bowls with Lemon-Dill Yogurt

A vibrant and flavorful meal packed with protein and healthy fats. Smoky salmon meets creamy yogurt, nutty chickpeas, and fresh dill for a satisfying bowl you'll love.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound salmon fillet, skin on
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup chopped fresh dill
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place the salmon fillet on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  3. While the salmon is baking, prepare the chickpeas by tossing them in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the chickpeas on a separate baking sheet and roast alongside the salmon for the last 10 minutes of cooking time, or until crispy.
  4. To make the lemon-dill yogurt sauce, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, and chopped dill in a small bowl. Season with salt to taste.
  5. Assemble the bowls by layering quinoa, roasted chickpeas, red onion slices, flaked salmon, and a generous drizzle of the lemon-dill yogurt sauce.
