- 1 tbsp olive oil (divided)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika or chili powder

Instructions

- Heat remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the salmon with salt and pepper, then sear skin-side down for about 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 3 minutes until cooked through.
- In another bowl, massage washed kale with lemon juice and a pinch of salt until wilted.
- Assemble your plate by arranging roasted chickpeas and broccoli beside the seared salmon, adding sliced avocado and kale salad.
