Drescription

A nourishing grain bowl featuring flaky salmon, roasted vegetables, and hearty grains. Packed with vibrant flavors and textures, it’s a balanced, wholesome meal perfect for any time of day.

Ingredients

1 lemon
kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup farro
3 tablespoons olive oil
one 8-ounce salmon fillet
1 tablespoon minced shallot
2 radishes, thinly sliced
1/2 cup sugar snap peas, thinly sliced on the bias
1/2 avocado, thinly sliced
fresh dill, for garnish

Directions

Zest 1 teaspoon of the lemon rind and reserve. Cut the lemon in half.
Bring a medium saucepan of generously salted water to a boil. Add the farro and cook until just tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water, then set aside.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Add the salmon to the skillet and cook about 3 minutes per side, until just cooked through. Squeeze in the juice of one of the lemon halves. Set the salmon aside to cool slightly, then flake with a fork into chunks.
Squeeze the juice of the remaining lemon half into a small bowl, add the shallots, the reserved lemon zest and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and whisk together. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Divide the farro between 2 bowls. Arrange the salmon, radishes, peas and avocado over the farro and drizzle over the dressing. Garnish with dill and serve.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Granola Bars

These easy-to-make homemade granola bars are inspired by the flavors of a classic oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. But feel free to vary the mix-ins to your preference. We tested several sticky sweeteners, including maple syrup and honey, but found brown rice syrup held the bars together the best.

Deviled Shrimp Tostadas

This deviled shrimp tostada is my favorite version of tostada. Not only is this dish texturally thrilling with crispy fried corn tortilla, silky avocado spread, tender shrimp and fresh diced veggies, the flavors of sweet, sour, savory, and spicy really make for a well rounded dish to serve cool on a hot day.
