Slow Salmon Fillets With Greens, Chickpeas and Caper Vinaigrette image

A generous one-dish meal from the oven adapted from a Bobby Flay recipe in Bon Appetit. Do NOT use bagged, chopped greens for this, the tough stems in the mix will ruin it. Get whatever whole greens look best on shopping day: mustard, chard, kale, spinach, etc. You may need to just the saute time for the greens depending upon how tender they are. Use extra Caper Vinaigrette on cooked chicken or a salad.
