Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Pat the salmon dry and set it on the sheet. Rub it with half of the olive oil, then sprinkle with the cumin, paprika, black pepper and half of the salt.
  3. Roast the salmon for 12 to 15 minutes, until it flakes easily and reaches 145°F (63°C) inside. Let it cool for 5 minutes, then break it into large flakes.
  4. While the salmon roasts, make the dressing: whisk the Greek yogurt with two-thirds of the lemon juice, the garlic, the dill and the remaining half of the salt. Loosen with a spoonful of water if it is very thick.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the spinach, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, chickpeas, red onion, olives and parsley. Toss with the remaining olive oil and the remaining third of the lemon juice.
  6. Divide the chopped salad among four plates, top with the salmon, and spoon the dill yogurt dressing over each serving.
