Keeping it light? Upping your protein? Watching your sodium intake? This dish from Chef Akhtar ticks all the boxes, bringing fresh, feel-good balance to the table. Salmon is brushed in olive oil and dusted with sumac and oregano, then roasted until just charred. It lands next to a slow-braised mix of veggies, laced with preserved lemon and folded with chickpeas for a boost of fiber. A punchy Lebanese sauce, known as toum, ties everything together with a creamy, garlicky kick.
