Salmon, Chickpeas & Spinach over Brown Rice

I swear that there will be horse tips on here soon, but for tonight.. Dinner was great again!

I try to mix up my week with fish, chicken, steak and tofu.. occasionally ground turkey. Tonight, I made salmon with chickpeas and spinach over some brown rice.

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp parsley or 1 bunch flat-leaf parsley
• 1 chopped garlic clove
• 1 tbsp EVOO
• 2 boneless, skinless salmon filets (mine were 3 oz. each)
• Sea salt and ground pepper
• Crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 cups spinach
• 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained/rinsed
• 1/2 cup brown rice

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut out two large pieces of wax paper.
2. Put parsley, garlic and EVOO in a blender until it becomes a thick paste.
3. Season salmon filets with salt and crushed red pepper flakes.
4. Put paste on fish. Divide spinach and chickpeas among wax paper. Season with sea salt and pepper.
5. Place fish on mixture, and fold wax paper over to create a pouch.
6. Bake in a pan for 10-12 minutes. Unwrap and serve over brown rice.
