Salmon, Farro and Caper Salad with Rocket
Roast salmon flaked over warm farro with capers, blistered tomatoes and a lot of peppery rocket.
Ingredients
- 200 g Salmon fillet
- 70 g Farro
- 50 g Arugula
- 10 g Capers
- 2 tsp Extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ Lemon
- 100 g Cherry tomatoes (optional)
Method
- Simmer the farro in salted water for twenty-eight minutes, until the grains are tender but still pop against the tooth, then drain and leave it to steam dry.
- Halve the tomatoes and rinse the capers of their brine. Pat the salmon dry.
- Roast the salmon at 200°C (400°F) for twelve minutes, until the flesh turns matt and parts under gentle pressure.
- Turn the warm farro through the olive oil and lemon juice while it still steams, then fold in the capers and tomatoes.
- Fold the rocket through at the last moment so it stays peppery, then break the salmon into big flakes over the top.
