Instructions

Preheat oven to 400. Place salmon on a foil-lined baking sheet. Season with lemon salt – zest lemon and mix with equal parts of coarse salt and pepper. Brush salmon with avocado oil and generously rub with lemon salt mixture. Bake for 13-15 minutes.

While salmon is baking, prepare farro according to package directions, if needed. (Hint: Trader Joe’s sells the perfect quick farro for this dish.) Rough chop asparagus in 2- to 3-inch pieces, keeping tips intact. Slice red onion and cut into 1- to 2-inch pieces.

Blanche asparagus pieces for 3 minutes in salted water. Drain and place in ice bath to maintain color and crispness.

Mix cooked farro, asparagus and onion in a bowl. Mix in Pea Shoot Pesto. Break salmon into bite-sized pieces and gently fold into salad. Serve at room temperature.
