Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by heating a large cast iron skillet over medium heat for about 4 minutes.
- Rub the salmon fillets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with smoked paprika, dried oregano, dried parsley, red chili flakes, and salt.
- Once the skillet is hot, place the salmon skin-side up in the pan. Cook for about 4 minutes until browned, then flip and cook skin-side down for an additional 5 minutes.
- In the same skillet, add the cooked jasmine rice, rinsed chickpeas, halved cherry tomatoes, olives, and the remaining olive oil. Squeeze in the fresh lemon juice and stir to combine.
- In a small bowl, combine crumbled feta cheese, a tablespoon of olive oil, a drizzle of lemon juice, and fresh oregano if using. Mix until creamy.
- Fold half of the feta mixture into the warmed rice and chickpea blend, then return the cooked salmon to the skillet and heat for about 1 minute.
- Top with the remaining feta mixture and sprinkle fresh oregano before serving.

Notes
Avoid overcooking the salmon; it should remain tender and moist.
