Salmon with Tomato-Braised Chickpeas and Herbed Yogurt

Rate & Review

(17 people have added this recipe to their favorites.)

The key to this dish, according to Perry, is to make sure the salmon skin is completely crisp. "To be honest," he says, "I've always been more of an ocean trout lover than a salmon lover—but I can be persuaded when the salmon skin is crispy and the flesh is just perfectly rare in the middle." Another secret is the herbed yogurt, which is tangy, creamy and lively, and an excellent accompaniment to the luscious fish.

Pairing Suggestion

Pinot Noir is a classic match with salmon. Perry suggests pouring the silky 2005 Grosset Pinot Noir with his dish. Unfortunately, very little of this wine is made; for an easier-to-find alternative, look for the spicy 2005 Ninth Island Pinot Noir from Tasmania

Salmon with Tomato-Braised Chickpeas and Herbed Yogurt

The herbed yogurt is a great compliment to the salmon. I didn't have sage on hand, but added lemon zest in addition to the juice to jazz it up.  Also added kale to the braised tomatoes and chickpeas to make it a complete, nutritious meal.
