Notes

    • Salmon: You can find boneless salmon filets at your local supermarket seafood counter. If it’s available, it’s always great to go for the wild-caught kind.

    • Nuts: You can leave them out if you need to…and you can also substitute your favorites. We love pistachios and walnuts in this recipe.

    • Farro: Farro is a hearty, nutty flavored grain similar to barley, and you can find it near the rice and barley in your supermarket. You can swap in brown rice or barley if yo like (although do try farro at some point – it is amazing!)
