Why is it everything tastes better in a bowl? With tender Mediterranean salmon, earthy farro and fresh cucumber, you'll want a little bit of everything in each bite.
Place farro in a saucepan covered with lightly salted water by a few inches. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 25-30 minutes, or until tender. Drain.
While farro is cooking preheat oven to 400°F.
In an oven safe dish season salmon with olive oil, salt, and Greek seasoning. Cook salmon for about 10-13 minutes. (Approximately 10 minutes per inch of thickness).
To build bowls begin by adding the cooked farro. Next, divide the cooked salmon, cucumber, red onion, tomatoes, feta, olives, beans, and tzatziki sauce amongst the 4 bowls either by clumping ingredients together into sections or spreading them evenly over the top. However, you feel looks best!
Farro can also be cooked in a slow cooker or instant pot.
