Fill a large pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, add the barley and cook, uncovered, 28 to 30 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot.
Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve, peel, and medium dice the onions. Cut off and discard the stems of the bell peppers. Halve lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then medium dice. Roughly chop the pickled peppers. Roughly chop the walnuts; place in a bowl. Add the cilantro sauce and stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
Once the barley has cooked about 15 minutes, in a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the diced onions and diced bell peppers; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes, or until softened. Transfer to a bowl. Wipe out the pan.
Pat the fish dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. Season only on the skinless side with enough of the spice blend to coat (you may have extra). In the same pan, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned fish, skin side down. Cook 5 to 7 minutes, or until the skin is browned and crispy. Flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes, or until lightly browned and cooked through.* Turn off the heat.
*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for fish.
To the pot of cooked barley, add the cooked vegetables, chopped pickled peppers, currants, and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the finished barley topped with the cooked fish and cilantro-walnut sauce. Enjoy!
