I love a good salmon dish but I find it can be easy to fall into a routine of preparing the same salmon recipe again and again. So I like to gather inspiration from what’s currently in season and right now, that is grapefruit. This salad is loaded with bright citrus, toasted nuts and some barley and comes together in under 20 minutes!

Ingredients you’ll need

• Salmon- I use wild salmon for this recipe but you can also omit for vegan / vegetarian.
• Grapefruit-To add brightness to the salad. You can substitute oranges if grapefruits aren't in season.
• Swiss Chard-I like to use swiss chard as the base but any leafy green would work here.
• Almonds- totally optional but they add an incredible nuttiness and texture to this salad.
• Barley-I love using barley as a base in my salad, but you can omit or substitute quinoa, farro or your grain of choice.
• Fennel-This recipe uses fennel to add more flavor, but you can omit if you cannot find in the store.
• Fresh Herbs-I like to use cilantro and basil here along with the fennel fronds.
• Maple -for flavor in the salmon marinade and salad dressing.
