Why does everything taste better in a bowl? With fresh tender salmon, earthy farro and fresh cucumber, you'll want a little bit of everything in each bite.

Preparation
STEP 1

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.

STEP 2

While farro is cooking preheat oven to 400°F.

STEP 3

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).

STEP 4

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!

Options

Farro can also be cooked in a slow cooker or instant pot.
