Method

Preparation

1
Prepare the Faro Grain
In a medium saucepan, add 1 cup of Faro grain and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes or until the grains are tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
2
Prepare the Pearl Onions
Peel the pearl onions and blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Drain and cool in ice water. Once cool, slice them in half.
3
Marinate the Salmon
In a small bowl, mix together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for 15-20 minutes.

Cooking

4
Cook the Salmon
Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Grill the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky.
5
Sauté the Pearl Onions
In the same skillet or a separate pan, add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the blanched pearl onions for about 5 minutes until they are slightly caramelized.

Assembly

6
Assemble the Dish
On a plate, place a serving of the cooked Faro grain. Top with the sautéed pearl onions and a handful of baby arugula. Finally, place a grilled salmon fillet on top and drizzle with any remaining dressing if desired.
