Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat for about 4 minutes. Season the salmon fillets with smoked paprika, oregano, parsley, red chili flakes, and a sprinkle of salt. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the salmon to coat it evenly.
- Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the heated skillet, then place the salmon skin-side up. Cook undisturbed for 4 minutes until a nice golden crust forms. Carefully flip the salmon, lower the heat slightly, and cook for another 5 minutes. The salmon should be opaque and flaky. Remove the skin and set the salmon aside.
- In the same skillet, add the cooked jasmine rice, drained chickpeas, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced olives. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice, mixing gently while reheating on medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until everything is warmed through.
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced feta cheese, remaining olive oil, lemon juice, and chopped fresh oregano. Mix well with a fork until the feta is evenly coated.
- Gently fold half of the prepared feta cheese mixture into the rice and chickpea mixture in the skillet. Nestle the cooked salmon back into the pan to reheat for 1-2 minutes, then top the salmon with the remaining feta mixture and garnish with additional fresh oregano.
