Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Cook the farro
In a medium sauce pot, combine the farro and 2¼ cups [4½ cups] lightly salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until the grains are tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain, return to the pot, and set aside. Meanwhile, start preparing the rest of the meal.
2
Make the citrusy walnut gremolata
- Coarsely chop the walnuts.
- Zest the lemon. Cut the lemon into wedges for garnish. [Zest both lemons; cut 1 lemon into wedges. Save the remaining zested lemon for another use.]
- Strip the parsley and tarragon leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves.
In a small bowl, stir together the walnuts, lemon zest, parsley, tarragon, and 2 teaspoons [1 TBL] oil; season to taste with salt and pepper.
3
Prep and cook the fish
- Pat the fish dry with a paper towel (if using king salmon, cut in half crosswise); season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] oil until hot but not smoking.
For salmon:
Add the fish, skin side down, and cook until the skin is crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook until the flesh is opaque and flaky, 1 to 2 minutes.
For halibut:
Add the fish and cook until lightly browned on the bottom side, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook until the flesh is opaque and flaky, 2 to 4 minutes.
For barramundi:
Add the fish, skin side down, and cook until the skin is crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook until the flesh is opaque and flaky, 2 to 3 minutes
Transfer to a plate. While the fish is cooking, prepare the farro salad.

Make the farro-beet salad
- Cut a small corner from the beet packaging and drain off any excess liquid; cut the beets in half, then into ¼-inch-thick half-moons.
In a large bowl, stir together the farro, beets, arugula, and “creamy” mustard vinaigrette; season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the farro salad to individual bowls and top with the fish. Spoon on the gremolata and serve with the lemon wedges.
