Poached Salmon and Farro Salad

August 6, 2018 By Sheila May

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

It seems like every restaurant serves salmon.  Sure, I enjoy salmon – even the farm-raised variety – but salmon is an oily and somewhat heavy fish.

We try and cut the oiliness with an Asian marinade heavy on citrus, but even this gets a bit boring.  Frankly, on a hot summer day, I prefer a piece of cold 0r room temperature salmon that has been poached.
