Instructions

8 steps · tick them off as you cook
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment.

  2. Drain and pat dry one 540 ml can of chickpeas, then toss on the pan with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, and salt until glossy.

  3. Roast the chickpeas alone for 10 minutes, shaking once, until they start to crackle and turn golden at the edges.

    10 minutes
  4. Meanwhile, whisk 2 tbsp harissa paste, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp olive oil, and the zest of 1 lemon into a glaze; brush generously over 4 salmon fillets (about 150 g each).

  5. Push the chickpeas to one side of the pan, nestle in the salmon skin-side down, and scatter 2 cups cherry tomatoes around; drizzle everything with a little more oil.

  6. Roast for 10-12 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily and registers 125°F (52°C) at the thickest point and the tomatoes have blistered.

    10-12 minutes
  7. While it roasts, stir together 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 grated garlic clove, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until silky.

  8. Shower the pan with 3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, spoon the lemon yogurt alongside, and serve directly from the sheet.

Chef's tip

Start the chickpeas alone for 10 minutes before adding the salmon — this gives them time to crisp without overcooking the fish, so every bite has crunch alongside the buttery flake.

Suggested pairing

Pair with warm pita or fluffy couscous and a chilled glass of dry rosé.
