Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

For the salmon:

4 (5-6 oz.) pieces of wild salmon filets
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

For the Brussels sprouts:

1 (1 lb.) package of Brussels sprouts, washed, trimmed and outer leaves removed - also, cut any medium or large sprouts in half or fourths so they’re all the same size
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (can omit for less heat)

For the farro:

1 (8-9 oz.) package of quick-cooking farro
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400.
Place salmon filets skin-side down on a large piece of aluminum foil. Sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper, then drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Fold up the sides of the aluminum foil to make foil packets and seal and crimp the tops, so the salmon is enclosed. Set aside.
On a large baking sheet, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Spread them out evenly around the edges of the baking sheet.
Place the salmon foil packet in the middle of the baking sheet.
Roast at 400 for 20-30 minutes, until the sprouts are tender and the salmon is cooked through. (See notes below.)
In the meantime, cook the farro according to package directions.
To serve, spoon the farro into a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Arrange the Brussels sprouts and salmon in the bowl. Drizzle with extra olive oil and balsamic vinegar, if desired, and serve!

Notes

Salmon: The cook time for the salmon will depend on how thick it is. If yours is really thick, it'll take the full 30 minutes so it can roast right alongside the Brussels sprouts. If it's thin, you can start the sprouts and add the salmon so it roasts for 15 minutes.

Farro: I love the quick cooking farro at Trader Joe's. You can use another brand of use regular farro, just be sure to follow the package instructions for how to cook it.
