Method

How to make it

01
Preheat oven to 220°C (430°F). Toss broccoli florets with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast until edges are golden and crisp-tender, about 15 minutes.
02
While broccoli roasts, combine miso paste, maple syrup, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic in a small bowl. Stir until smooth to form glaze.
03
Place rinsed farro and vegetable broth in the pressure cooker pot. Seal the lid and cook on high pressure for 15 minutes. Perform a quick release, drain any excess liquid if needed, and fluff farro with a fork.
04
Place each cedar plank in the bottom of a large steamer basket or trivet that fits inside the pressure cooker pot. Lay one salmon fillet on each plank, skin side down. Brush half the maple-miso glaze over the salmon.
05
Add 200 ml water to the bottom of the pressure cooker (below the steamer basket). Place the basket with salmon inside, seal lid, and cook at high pressure for 5 minutes.
06
Quick release the pressure. Carefully remove salmon on planks using tongs. Brush remaining glaze over the fillets.
07
To assemble bowls, divide farro evenly, top with roasted broccoli and glazed salmon. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions before serving.

Cooking tips

Soak cedar planks for at least 1 hour to prevent burning during steaming.
If you don’t have farro, use barley or brown rice as a substitute for similar texture and nuttiness.
Roasting broccoli separately before assembling preserves its crispness and adds caramelized flavor.
Use a quick release on the pressure cooker after cooking salmon to avoid overcooking and drying it out.
