Ingredients

  • 2 cod or halibut fillets, 6–7 oz each
  • ¼ cup dry farro (about ¾ cup cooked)
  • 1 bunch kale (or spinach)
  • 3 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 1 lemon
  • Olive oil, salt, and pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook farro in about 1 cup water or broth for 25–30 minutes until chewy-tender. Drain any excess.
  2. Strip and chop the kale. Sauté in olive oil with sliced garlic for 4–5 minutes, adding a splash of water to wilt. Salt.
  3. Season the fish and roast at 400°F for 12–14 minutes, or pan-sear 3–4 minutes per side.
  4. Serve fish over farro with kale on the side and a squeeze of lemon.
  5. Refrigerate the second fillet for lunch.

Notes

  • Farro portion (¾ cup cooked) is a floor. Bump to a full cup on heavy training days.
  • One serving lands around 45–55 g protein plus fiber.
