Method

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put the pearl barley in a pan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the soured cream, lime juice and honey. Season to taste.
Preheat a griddle pan. Add the spring onions and cook for 5 minutes. Remove and roughly chop. Toss through the barley along with the lime zest, parsley and some seasoning. Keep warm.
In a small bowl, combine the piri-piri with the oil. Brush generously over the salmon. Return the griddle to the hob over a medium heat. Sear the salmon for 1 minute on each side, then transfer to a baking tray and bake for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, put the avocado halves, cut-side down, on the griddle and cook for 5 minutes, until lightly charred. To serve, divide the barley, avocado and salmon between 2 plates and drizzle over the dressing.
