Ingredients
Farro bowl
  • 1 cup dry farro (I like the 10 minute farro from Trader Joes)
  • 2 x 1 lb. salmon fillets
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. pepper
  • ½ tsp. onion powder
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 cup snap peas, cut in half
  • 1 cup sliced mini sweet peppers
  • ½ cup sliced radish
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • ½ of an English cucumber, chopped
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • ⅓ cup chopped pistachios for topping
Dressing
  • 4 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 tbsp. white wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp. honey
  • Juice of ½ a lemon
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Cook farro according to package. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Pat the salmon dry and season with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Cook fish side down for 4 minutes, then flip to cook on the skin side for another 4 minutes. The fish will flake easily when cooked but not appear dry.
  3. Place the farro in a large bowl. Toss with snap peas, peppers, radish, avocado, cucumber, and cilantro.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients: olive oil, vinegar, honey, lemon, salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the farro and veggies and toss to combine.
  5. Place a few scoops of the farro and veggie mixture in a bowl and top with a salmon fillet. Top with chopped pistachios and serve immediately. Enjoy!
