Instructions

  1. To prep, roast the chickpeas first. You can do this a few hours ahead of time if desired.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Season the salmon with the mixture, covering both sides. (if you get salmon with skin on, I use the spice rub just on the top.) Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the salmon and cook on one side for 2 minutes, then flip and cook until the fish is flaky and opaque, about 5 minutes. Brush the BBQ sauce all over the salmon.
  3. To assemble the salads, combine the lettuce, corn and green onions in a bowl. Add the salmon and chickpeas on top, then drizzle with the ranch. Top it off with the crushed chips, chives and cilantro. Serve!
