Sheet Pan Greek Salmon With Chickpeas

Ingredients

• Cooking spray
• 4 (5 oz/142g) salmon fillets, skin-on
• 1 (15 oz/250g) can low-sodium chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 4 cups (425g) cauliflower florets
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp dried oregano, divided
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp sweet paprika
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp lemon zest (from about 1 large lemon)
• 2 garlic cloves, minced, divided
• 1/2 cup (115g) plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• 1/4 medium cucumber, peeled, grated and squeezed dry (about 3 tbsp)
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
• 1/4 cup (35g) kalamata olives, rinsed, pitted and halved 

Directions 

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, toss the chickpeas and cauliflower with the olive oil, 1/2 tsp of the oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together, remaining 1/2 tsp oregano, lemon zest, and 1 of the minced garlic cloves. Push the chickpeas and cauliflower to the edges of the pan and arrange the salmon fillets skin-side down in the center. Spread the lemon-oregano mixture evenly over the top of each fillet. Scatter the olives over the chickpeas and cauliflower.

Return the pan to the oven and roast for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon registers 145°F (63°C) on an instant-read thermometer and the cauliflower is tender and lightly charred.

In a small bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, dill, and remaining minced garlic clove to make the tzatziki. Drizzle over the salmon and vegetables and serve immediately.
