Add the barley to the skillet and cook for 1 minute to coat in the butter, stirring constantly. Add the miso-broth mixture. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over medium heat for 25 minutes, stirring a few times. Remove the lid and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the barley is tender. Add more broth as needed.
Meanwhile, in another skillet over medium-high heat, brown the onions slices on each side in the remaining butter until slightly charred, about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, keeping the slices intact. Add the remaining broth and continue to cook until completely evaporated. Deglaze with the balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
Add the duck to the skillet of barley. Mix for 2 minutes to reheat.
Divide the barley among four bowls. Top with the onions, pumpkin seeds and parsley leaves. Serve immediately.
