Recipe for salmon and pearl barley in spinach cream sauce

Salmon and spinach are always a fantastic combination. Here, the pair has been transformed into a creamy stew in delightful harmony with pearl barley and cream sauce. Pearl barley is slightly coarser than regular rice, making it a bit healthier, but it still becomes deliciously tender and creamy in this kind of stew, and it is quite filling.

The result is a quick, healthy, delicious, and hearty everyday dish that can be ready in about half an hour.
