CHAR-GRILLED SALMON WITH CHICKPEAS AND CHILLI JAM

Some people have an issue with salmon. They find it too oily. Telling them that the oil is good for them won't sway them. They just don't like. And they especially don't like it when it isn't cooked until all trace orange rawness has gone. Bears don't seem to have that problem. Nor me. I usually only cook one side of the fillet - in a very hot pan so the flesh goes crisp. The other side is raw - but warm. Some people have issues with chickpeas. Usually these people have issues with other legumes as well - black beans, pinto beans, black-eyed peas and so on. Telling them that these are good for them won't sway them. They just don't like them ... now, just in case you thought that this was going to be an exact copy of what I wrote about salmon, you'd be wrong. Unlike salmon, which tastes best when raw or slightly cooked, all of these dried beans are are a little tough on the teeth if served raw. Actually, that's not true ... chickpeas are ground into powder, which is edible, but a whole lot better if cooked ... do you get the feeling there's no real point to this? I do. So I'll stop.
