Sauteed Salmon with Chickpeas and Tomatoes



I wanted to find a salmon recipe that was a little 'different' and decided to try this.  It was delish!  You can still taste the salmon-y taste, but the tomatoes and chickpeas make it taste different, and more interesting.  I'm no Andrew Zimmerman, and don't have 100 descriptive words for tastes.  This one is also cheap since I had everything on hand.

INGREDIENTS:
2 salmon filets
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp paprika
Sprinkle of red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper
Sprinkle of cayenne pepper

Directions:
1.Rub salmon with salt, pepper and paprika and set aside.
2.Spray a large, nonstick skillet with non fat cooking spray (since you can't use this spray on Calphalon, I used olive oil and it worked fine.)
3.Saute garlic until softened, 2-3 minutes.
4.Add salmon, top with remaining ingredients.
5. Cover and simmer on med-low heat for 15-20 mins or until salmon is cooked.

Prep time: 5 mins  Cooking time: 20 mins
