Preparation

1. Functions: Microwave, Stage Cooking
2. 1. Prepare the salmon. Sprinkle the salmon with the ¼ teaspoon
   salt, and put in a shallow microwave-safe dish. In a small bowl,
   whisk together the soy sauce, ginger, garlic, honey, Dijon, olive oil, and black pepper.
   Pour over the salmon. Allow to marinate while preparing the farro.
   2. Put the 1¾ cups water and farro in a microwave-safe dish, and
   cover. Place in the Cuisinart® 3-in-1 Microwave AirFryer Plus. Select
   Stage Cooking. For Stage 1 (SC-1): Select Microwave, and set the
   time for 10 minutes and power level to High (10P). Select Stage
   Cooking again. For Stage 2 (SC-2): Select Microwave again, and set
   the time for 10 minutes and power level to Medium (4P); press Start.
   3. Allow to rest in the oven for 5 minutes before removing. After resting,
   remove and fluff the farro with a fork, cover again, and keep warm
   while preparing the other ingredients. (If serving at later time, cool
   completely, and then store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.)
   4. Remove the salmon from the marinade, reserving the marinade,
   and put into a small microwave-safe dish. Cover with a vented lid
   (if using plastic wrap, prick the plastic with the tip of a knife in a
   few different areas), and place in the Microwave AirFryer. Select
   Microwave, and set the time for 6 minutes and power level to High
   (10P). When finished cooking, remove and reserve.
   5. Put the marinade in the Microwave AirFryer. Select Microwave, and set
   the time for 1 minute and power level to High (10P). Press Start. Remove
   and reserve.
   6. Cook the chard. Chop the stems into ½-inch pieces and then roughly
   chop the leaves. Put the chard, garlic, salt, and the 1 tablespoon
   water in a microwave-safe container, and cover. Select Microwave,
   and set the time for 3 minutes and power level to High (10P). Press
   Start. Remove and reserve.
   7. Put the pistachios and sesame seeds in a microwave-safe dish.
   Select Microwave, and set the time for 6 minutes and power level
   to High (10P). Press Start. Remove and reserve.
   8. Put the shallots and oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Be sure that the
   shallots are fully covered by the oil. Start with ⅓ cup, but use no
   more than ½ cup. Select Microwave, and set the time for 5 minutes
   and power level to High (10P).
   9. Stir and then continue to microwave, on High (10P), for 30-second
   increments. It is important to keep the cycles short to prevent
   burning the shallots – cooking in 30-second bursts allow you to
   keep an eye on the color. Once golden, carefully pour through a
   fine-mesh strainer, and transfer to a paper-towel lined plate.
   Blot well with additional paper towels. Immediately after blotting,
   season generously with the salt.
   10. To serve, divide the farro among individual bowls and then top with
   the salmon, greens, and all the crispy toppings. Drizzle the reserved
   marinade over top and serve.
