Spiced Citrus Salmon with Roasted Chickpeas and Broccoli

A vibrant and healthy weeknight dinner featuring succulent salmon, crispy roasted chickpeas, and tender broccoli tossed in a zesty citrus glaze.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound salmon fillet, skin on or off
  • 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 head of broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • Zest and juice of 1 orange
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  3. In another bowl, combine the broccoli florets with lemon zest, orange zest, and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Place the salmon fillet on a separate baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Roast all items in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, the chickpeas are golden brown and crispy, and the broccoli is tender-crisp.
  6. While everything is roasting, whisk together the lemon juice, orange juice, and cilantro in a small bowl.
  7. Serve the roasted salmon topped with the citrus sauce and alongside the roasted chickpeas and broccoli.
