On my days off, I'm a sucker for lengthy, complicated, and impressive-looking meals. During the week, my cooking style can go quite the other way. By the time I get home, I'm usually pretty tired and hungry. I want something healthy and quick like this citrus salmon served with an equally healthy chickpea and spinach salad. With just a handful of ingredients, you can have this on the table in no time at all!
