Method
Grains

Prepare the Grains
Rinse quinoa and farro under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine water, quinoa, and farro. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until grains are tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Cook the Salmon
Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Brush salmon fillets with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Place the salmon skin-side down on the grill or skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add asparagus, carrots, and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
