Dried chickpeas are more economical and can be cooked from scratch.

Preheat the oven.

Place about 1 pound of baby potatoes onto a sheet pan.

Add rinsed and drained canned chickpeas to the sheet pan.

Thinly slice a red onion and add it to the sheet pan.

Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes, chickpeas, and onions.

Add paprika, thyme, cumin, and garlic powder to the mixture, reserving half for the salmon.

Toss everything together with clean hands until well coated.

Spread the mixture into an even layer on the sheet pan and bake for 15-20 minutes.

Prepare the salmon by cutting it into individual portions.

Drizzle olive oil over the salmon and sprinkle with the reserved spice mixture.

Rub the spice mixture into the salmon with clean hands and let it sit.

Make an herby yogurt sauce by blending 1 cup of whole milk Greek yogurt with chopped garlic, lemon juice, parsley, dill, and kosher salt.

After 15-20 minutes, remove the sheet pan from the oven and push the potatoes and chickpeas to the edges to make room for the salmon.

Place the salmon in the center of the sheet pan, avoiding putting it on top of the chickpeas or potatoes.

Return the sheet pan to the oven until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.

Finish the dish by adding salt and black pepper to the potatoes before serving.
