Ingredients:
- 2, 4 ounce salmon fillets
- 1 can garbanzo beans
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 3 celery stalks, minced
- 10 garlic cloves, smashed and chopped
- handful of fresh cilantro
- 2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons spicy hoisin sauce
- olive oil
- garlic powder
- crushed red pepper flakes
- salt
- pepper
To Make:
In a large saute pan, drizzle with olive oil and saute the onions, garlic and celery about 10 minutes on medium low heat. Season with salt and pepper.
Drain and wash the garbanzo beans, set aside.
In a glass bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil with the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, hoisin sauce and cilantro. Season with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Whisk together until combined.
Drizzle a grill pan with oil and heat on high for about 2 minutes so that the oil is hot. Place the salmon fillets onto the hot grill and lightly brush the sauce over top. Continue basting the fillets with sauce on both sides. Cook the salmon about 5-7 minutes all-together, flipping in between.
White the salmon is cooking, add the garbanzo beans to the onion and celery mixture. Mix together, add more salt and pepper and a dash of crushed red pepper. Add more olive oil if needed.
To Plate:
Lay the garbanzo mixture on the bottom of the plate and place a salmon fillet on top. Serve immediately.
