Sweet-hot glazed salmon with crispy chickpeas, roasted on one sheet pan in 22 minutes flat.

What you need

Ingredients

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin on · 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and patted very dry · 2 tbsp olive oil · 2 tbsp harissa paste · 1 tbsp honey · 1 tbsp lemon juice, plus wedges to serve

Step 1

Heat the oven

Heat the oven to 425°F with the rack in the upper third. A hot upper rack is what crisps the chickpeas instead of drying them out.

Step 2

Start the chickpeas

Toss the dried chickpeas with 1 tablespoon olive oil, the cumin, and half the salt. Spread on a sheet pan and roast for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Mix the glaze

Stir the harissa, honey, lemon juice, remaining olive oil, and remaining salt together into a loose paste.

Step 4

Add the salmon

Push the chickpeas to the edges, set the fillets skin-down in the center, and spoon the glaze over the tops.

Chef's tip

Dry chickpeas, crisp chickpeas

Roll them in a towel until they squeak. Any surface moisture turns the roast into a steam bath.
