Tips:
- 1. For a more intense flavor, marinate the salmon in olive oil, garlic, and basil for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- 2. You can use fresh tomatoes instead of canned tomatoes for a fresher taste; simply chop them before adding to the skillet.
- 3. To ensure the salmon is perfectly cooked, use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
- 4. Adding a splash of white wine or lemon juice to the tomato and chickpea mixture can enhance the overall flavor.
- 5. Serve the dish with a side of quinoa or a green salad for a complete meal.
