Preparation

Step 1

For salmon:
Preheat oven to 250°F.

Brush a large baking dish with oil. Combine chickpeas, cumin,
and 1 tablespoon oil in a medium bowl.

Mash about half of chickpeas with a fork; season with salt and pepper. Transfer chickpea mixture to prepared dish.

Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook garlic, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Add mustard greens and cook, tossing, until slightly wilted,
about 1 minute. Add honey and 1/4 cup water; season with salt
and pepper. Cook, tossing, until greens are completely wilted,
about 2 minutes. Transfer to dish with chickpea mixture.

Season salmon with salt and pepper; arrange over greens and
chickpea mixture and drizzle with oil. Bake until salmon is opaque in the center, 30–35 minutes.

For vinaigrette and assembly:
Whisk shallot, lemon juice, mustard, and honey in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Gradually whisk in olive oil; season with salt and pepper.

Heat vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook capers until opened and crisp, about 30 seconds; drain on paper towels.

Drizzle salmon with vinaigrette and top with capers.
