Instructions
    Roast the Salmon Filet
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F and set out a small sheet tray.

  2. 2

    Place the salmon filet on the sheet pan and drizzle with the olive oil. Season the salmon filet with the salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Roast the salmon for 15 minutes, until cooked through in the center. 

    3. Prepare the Green Bean Farro Salad
  3. 3

    In a large mixing bowl, drizzle in the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Whisk the dressing until the oil is fully integrated with the rest of the ingredients. 

  4. 4

    Add the steamed green beans, chopped baby spinach, chopped parsley, green onions, and prepared farro to the mixing bowl. Toss to coat the farro and vegetables in the dressing, letting the heat from the farro wilt the spinach slightly.

  5. 5

    Crumble in the feta cheese and add the halved cherry tomatoes to the salad. Toss once more to incorporate the feta and tomatoes into the salad.

    6. Serve and Enjoy
  6. 6

    Divide the green bean farro salad among bowls. 

  7. 7

    Slice the roasted salmon into equal portions, cutting across the grain of the filet. Place each piece of salmon on top of the portions of farro salad. Drizzle a bit of honey over the top of each salmon filet. Garnish each portion with an additional crumble of feta cheese, to taste, and enjoy!
