Salmon

Farro Verde

Salad

Method

Preparation of Salmon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chili Rub

    In a small bowl, mix together the ancho chili powder, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.

  2. 2

    Cook the Salmon

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the salmon fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky.

Preparation of Farro Verde

  1. 3

    Cook the Farro

    In a saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the farro and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 25-30 minutes until tender. Drain any excess liquid.

  2. 4

    Finish the Farro

    Stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice into the cooked farro. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Preparation of Salad

  1. 5

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the diced heirloom tomatoes, diced peaches, and torn basil. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and toss gently.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Plate the farro verde, top with the grilled ancho chili-rubbed salmon, and serve the salad on the side. Add a dollop of crème fraîche on top of the salmon.
