The dinner prep on this two-for-one dish will save you time tomorrow! Just save the extra farro and roasted trout for a healthy grain bowl the next day.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups farro

  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided

  • 6 trout fillets, (about 150 g each)

  • 3/4 tsp salt, divided

  • 1/2 tsp pepper

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • 1 bunch swiss chard, finely chopped, stems and leaves separated

  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  • PREHEAT oven to 450F. Line a baking sheet with foil.

  • COOK farro, following package directions, until tender. Drain. Reserve 3 cups for trout grain bowl. Toss remaining 2 cups in 2 tsp oil in a bowl.

  • PLACE trout, skin-side down, on prepared baking sheet. Brush with 2 tsp oil. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt and pepper.

  • ROAST until a knife tip inserted into the thickest part of fish and gently parting it shows flesh is opaque, about 8 min. Reserve 2 fillets for Trout Grain Bowl.

  • HEAT remaining 2 tsp oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium. Add garlic and cook 30 sec. Add chard stems and 1/4 tsp salt. Cook until stems are tender, about 2 min. Add vinegar and chard leaves. Stir until slightly wilted, about 1 min. Serve with trout and farro.
