Instructions
Heat oven to 400°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper.
Remove skin from salmon and bones if necessary. Pat salmon dry with paper towels; place on cookie sheet.
Drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil.
Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork.
Meanwhile, in large bowl, toss together remaining salad ingredients except arugula. In small bowl, mix 1/3 cup oil, the lemon peel, lemon juice, vinegar, agave nectar and mustard with whisk until well blended.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Pour dressing over chick pea mixture; stir to combine. Stir in arugula. Use 2 forks to flake salmon into bite-size pieces.
Add salmon to salad; toss gently. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc
Salmon works really well with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. The Trentadue La Storia Chardonnay with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.

Trentadue La Storia Chardonnay
The 2014 Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast, is typical for the variety with aromas of apples, white peaches and citrus. With longer time in the glass nuanced aromas of nutmeg, slight toast and vanilla come to play along with suggestion of pineapple and ripe Meyer lemons. The mouth feel is crisp and restrained with clear minerality and purity of fruit. Rich, elegant and beautifully balanced.
