Slow-Roasted Salmon Salad with Barley and Golden Beets image

While the salmon slow-roasts in the oven for 20 minutes, you'll slice the beets super-thin on a mandolin and stir-fry them with scallions until they turn into caramelized bites. Toss them with barley, nestle the salmon on top, and serve family-style.

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 pounds skinless salmon fillet (about 1 inch thick)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 small lemon, very thinly sliced into rounds (1/2 cup), plus 2 tablespoons fresh juice
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 medium golden beets (12 ounces), trimmed and scrubbed
6 scallions, white and light-green parts separated and thinly sliced (a packed 1/2 cup), dark-green tops sliced
3 cups cooked barley, farro, or brown rice, room temperature
1 cup fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F with a rack 6 inches from heating element and another in center. Season fish with salt and pepper; place in a broiler-proof skillet or baking dish, skinned-side down. Season lemon slices and scatter over top; drizzle 6 tablespoons oil over everything.
  • Roast on center rack until fish is almost cooked through but still translucent-pink in center, 18 to 20 minutes. Spoon some of oil from skillet over fish. Switch oven to broil; transfer to top rack and broil until lemons are lightly charred in spots and fish is just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes more. Let cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice beets into very thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick (you should have about 2 cups). Season with salt and drizzle with oil. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until softened slightly, 10 minutes; drain.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add beets and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Add scallion whites and light greens; continue cooking until softened and lightly caramelized, about 5 minutes more. Remove from heat; season to taste and stir in lemon juice.
  • Toss beet mixture in a large bowl with barley and half of broiled lemon slices. Fold in 3/4 cup parsley and scallion dark-greens; season to taste. Mound on a platter and top with fish and remaining lemon slices; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup parsley and drizzle with a bit of oil from roasting skillet. Serve.

I thought the dressing was a bit too heavy. I would recommend using a lighter vinaigrette instead.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The salmon was overcooked and the barley was mushy.

I'm not a big fan of beets, but I really enjoyed them in this salad. They added a natural sweetness that complemented the other ingredients well.

The salmon was cooked perfectly. It was moist and flaky, and it paired well with the barley and beets.

I love the vibrant colors of this salad! The golden beets add a pop of color that makes it so visually appealing.
