| 1. | In a skillet over medium high heat, add olive oil. Lay down each salmon fillet and let sear for 4 minutes. Sprinkle the top of each salmon fillet with a little sea salt. Flip and cook four minutes more, until just barely done. (Be careful not to overcook!) Remove to a serving platter. |
| 2. | In a medium bowl, make salsa by gently folding together all ingredients: chickpeas, artichoke hearts, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, feta, and spinach. Sprinkle with a little salt. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and spoon salsa over each salmon filet. Refrigerate any leftover salsa. |
| 3. | Serve and enjoy! |
