Ingredients

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
2 tbsp black peppercorns, crushed
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
2 cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Season the salmon fillets with salt and press the crushed peppercorns onto the flesh side.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets, skin side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the skin is crispy. Transfer the fillets to the prepared baking sheet, pepper side up, and bake for 10-12 minutes or until cooked through.
