Directions

1. Combine all salmon ingredients in a bag to marinade for a minimum of an hour. Bake on broil for 10-15 minutes, depending on how big your filets are.

2. Preheat oven to 400F. On a sheet pan mix all green bean ingredients together on one half of the sheet and all the chickpeas ingredients on the other. Roast for 15-20 minutes or until both are a golden brown.

3. Cook the Trader Joe’s gnocchi in a frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil, on medium heat, for about 12 minutes or until golden brown.

4. Make sauce by mixing all sauce ingredients together.

5. Place a piece of salmon and an equal portion of green beans, chick peas, kale gnocchi, spinach and cucumber on a dish. Drizzle with sauce and top with green onion and sesame seeds.
