Salmon And Vegetable Chickpea Pasta Bowl

• Roasted Vegetable, Chickpea, and Raw Vegetable Components
• 3 yellow onions, chopped
• 2 red/orange/yellow pepper, seeded and chopped
• 1 eggplant, chopped (I don't bother peeling or salting it here)
• 1 15 oz. can of chickpeas
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• black pepper
• 1 box whole wheat spaghetti (or your choice of pasta), cooked al dente and reserved
• 1 handful sundried tomatoes, chopped
• 1 pint grape/cherry tomatoes
• 1 handful basil, chopped
• seeds from 1 pomegranate
• 1 handful kalamata olives, chopped
• 1 lemon, zested and juiced
• Pan Fried Salmon and Crispy Skin
• 3-4 fillets salmon
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• salt and pepper

1. Preheat the oven to 400F. In a large bowl, combine the onions, peppers, eggplant, chickpeas, olive oil, salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Transfer to a large cookie/jelly roll pan and roast until starting to brown and caramelize. Remove from oven and let cool.
2. For the salmon, all I did was heat up a bit of olive oil in a skillet. I used a straight up stainless steel skillet. When the oil was hot, I placed the salmon fillet on it skin side down and salt and peppered the side that was up. I cooked it on med/high for a few minutes (3-4) on each side. Then I took it out of the skillet and let it rest for a bit.
3. Remove the skin and crisp it up a bit in the skillet. Cut it into strips.
4. ASSEMBLY OF THE MEAL: I put the cooked pasta in the botton of the bowl and just added all of the other components on top of it, topping it with a sprinkling of the pomegranate seeds. It was really good. I think it would look really nice on a large platter with some cut lemons around it. Some toasted pine nuts may be a good idea also.
