Steps

1Make the chickpeas
2Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a large baking sheet parchment paper. Spread the chickpeas onto the baking sheet and drizzle on the olive oil. Toss the chickpeas until coated in oil. Roast the chickpeas at 400 degrees for 30-35 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, or until the chickpeas are as crispy as you like. Remove the chickpeas from the oven and immediately season them with the salt, pepper, spices, and toss until coated. Set aside.
3Make the salmon
4Bring the salmon to room temperature and then pat the fish dry with a paper towel. Season each side with a bit of salt and pepper. Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 1/2 tablespoon of oil to the pan. Cook the salmon 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked to your liking.
5Prep the Salad
6Add the lettuce and parmesan to a large mixing bowl. Add a few spoonfuls of dressing and 1/3 cup of chickpeas. Toss until the lettuce is well coated.
