Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup pearl barley, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 pound salmon fillet, skinned, cut into 1-inch chunks
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons coarsely chopped fresh dill, plus sprigs for garnish
Freshly ground pepper
1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 small cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeds removed, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Put pearl barley and 1 1/4 cups water into a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until water has been absorbed and barley is tender, about 30 minutes. Drain any excess water, and return barley to saucepan. Fluff with a fork; cover, and set aside.
  • Bring wine, 5 cups water, the peppercorns, 1/2 teaspoon salt, the bay leaf, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice to a boil in a large high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer 5 minutes. Add salmon; cook 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer salmon to a nonreactive dish. Cover; let stand 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together remaining tablespoon lemon juice, the oil, dill, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl; season with pepper.
  • Toss together barley, salmon, onion, and cucumber in a large bowl. Gently fold in vinaigrette. Divide salad among six plates; garnish with dill, and serve with lemon wedges.

Can I use canned salmon instead of fresh salmon?

How long does this salad keep in the refrigerator?

I love salmon. I am allergic to barley. Can I substitute rice or quinoa instead of barley?

This was the worst salad I've ever had. The barley was undercooked and the salmon was dry.

I thought this salad was just okay. The flavors didn't really meld together.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad didn't turn out as good as the picture. It was still edible, but it wasn't as flavorful as I expected.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover salmon. I had some grilled salmon from the night before and it was perfect in this salad.

I'm not usually a fan of barley, but this salad changed my mind. The barley was cooked perfectly and the flavors were amazing.

This salmon and barley salad was a hit at our last potluck! I doubled the recipe and it fed a crowd of 20 people. Easy to make and so flavorful!
