Preparation Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season the salmon fillets generously with smoked paprika, dried oregano, dried parsley, red chili flakes, and salt. Place the salmon skin-side up in the pan when hot.
- Cook the salmon undisturbed for about 4 minutes until golden-brown, then flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes until opaque.
- In the same skillet, add the cooked jasmine rice, drained chickpeas, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced olives, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir to combine and heat on medium for 3-4 minutes.
- In a bowl, combine crumbled feta cheese with olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of oregano. Stir until creamy.
- Fold half of the feta mixture into the warm rice mixture, then place the cooked salmon on top, topping with the remaining feta mixture.

Notes
Ensure skillet is well-heated before adding salmon for a perfect sear. Clean the skillet after cooking salmon to prevent fishy taste. Adjust spice levels according to preference.
