For the Salmon:

1. Prepare the salmon by seasoning it with salt and pepper.

2. Heat olive oil in a pan. Place the salmon (skin-side down) on a medium-high flame and cook for seven to nine minutes, until well done.

4. Top with thinly sliced fennel mixed with chopped chives and season with lemon juice.

5. Serve with hummus on the side.

For the Hummus:

1. Soak chickpeas overnight in water. Rinse and drain chickpeas; transfer to a pot with cold water and bring to a boil.

2. Once it starts boiling, reduce the temperature to low-medium heat and simmer for 45 minutes to an hour.

3. Once the chickpeas are tender, drain and add to a food processor. Add lemon juice, tahini, garlic and cumin; blend together with ice until you get an even and creamy texture.

4. Top with paprika or sumac and a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
