Maple-Glazed Salmon With Warm Wheat Berry Salad
- 4 cups water
- 1 1/2 cups wheat berries
- 1/2 cup finely diced carrots
- 1/2 cup finely diced celery
- 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup toasted pecans
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 3 pounds salmon
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 cups mache lettuce
- Bring 4 cups water to boil; add wheat berries. Reduce heat and cook, uncovered, for 1 hour or until tender and most of liquid is absorbed. Drain; set aside.
- Cook carrots and celery in 1 teaspoon oil in a large skillet over moderate heat for 3 minutes or until tender. Add wheat berries and cranberries, and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until hot. Transfer to serving bowl, and stir in next 4 ingredients (through pepper). Cover and keep warm.
- Preheat oven to 450u0b0. Brush a baking sheet with 1 teaspoon olive oil; arrange salmon, skin side down. Combine maple syrup and mustard; spread on top of salmon. Roast in middle of oven for 7 minutes. Turn broiler on; broil salmon for 3-4 minutes or until golden on top. Transfer salmon to a cutting board, and cut half of it into 4 (6-ounce) pieces; reserve the rest.
- Reserve 1 1/2 cups wheat berry mixture. Stir mache into the remaining wheat berry salad. Serve each piece of salmon on top of salad.
