1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g
1/3 cup chickpeas
55g
1 tbsp basil
5g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Mince the garlic if not pre-minced.
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas.
- Chop the basil finely.
2. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
3. Season the Salmon:
- Lightly spray a baking dish with cooking spray oil.
- Place the salmon fillet in the dish.
- Sprinkle the salmon with a dash of salt and black pepper, ensuring even coverage.
4. Prepare the Tomato Mixture:
- In a medium bowl, combine the canned tomatoes, minced garlic, and chopped basil. Mix well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
5. Combine and Bake:
- Pour the tomato mixture over the salmon in the baking dish.
- Scatter the rinsed chickpeas around the salmon in the dish, making sure they are coated with the tomato mixture as well.
6. Bake the Dish:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the salmon fillet.
7. Serve:
- Once baked, remove the dish from the oven.
- Let it rest for a couple of minutes.
- Serve the garlic-basil tomato salmon with a portion of the chickpeas and tomato mixture on the side.

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.
