Middle Eastern Salmon & Chickpea Bowls

• Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot (use a medium pot for 4 servings) over medium-high heat. Add minced onion, half the garlic, half the Shawarma Spice (you’ll use the rest in the next step), and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, 1 minute. • Stir in rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4), stock concentrate, and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to use in step 5.

• Meanwhile, toss onion wedges, tomatoes, and chickpeas on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of olive oil, remaining Shawarma Spice, pepper, and a few pinches of salt. (For 4 servings, divide everything between 2 baking sheets; roast on top and middle racks, tossing veggies and swapping rack positions halfway through roasting.) • Roast on top rack, tossing halfway through, until veggies are tender and lightly charred and chickpeas are crispy, 18-20 minutes. (It’s natural for chickpeas to pop a bit while roasting.)

While everything roasts, pat salmon dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. Once veggies have roasted 10 minutes, carefully push to one side and add salmon, skin sides down, to same sheet. Roast until salmon is cooked through, 8-10 minutes more.

• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine sour cream and remaining garlic to taste. Season with salt. Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.

• Fluff rice with a fork; stir in half the cilantro and ½ TBSP butter (1 TBSP for 4 servings). Season with salt and pepper. • Once veggies and chickpeas are done, remove from oven and toss with lemon zest.
