Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grains

    In a medium pot, combine brown rice, red quinoa, and black barley with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until grains are tender. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

  2. 2

    Grill the Salmon

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the salmon for about 5-7 minutes per side or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove from grill and let rest.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Kale

    In a skillet, add a tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium. Add the kale and sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Roast the Vegetables

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss seasonal vegetables in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Lemon Cream Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium heat. Stir in lemon juice and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    On each serving plate, create a bed of the grain mixture. Place sautéed kale on top, followed by the grilled salmon. Arrange roasted vegetables around and drizzle with lemon cream sauce. Garnish with fresh dill.
