Delicate and tender, there's nothing like fresh-caught river trout, lightly broiled. Here, we've turned it into a tasty grain salad, perfect for a quick light dinner or lunch. Don't have trout on hand? Another flaky white fish will work (if it doesn't taste quite as spectacular).

Ingredients

1 large shallot, chopped
3 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup farro
1/2 cup coarse bulgur
1 rainbow trout fillet, butterflied
2 Tbsp. olive oil, plus more for baking sheet
1/2 cup chopped roasted and salted almonds
1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint

Directions

1. Step 1Combine shallot and vinegar in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Let sit until shallot is softened, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cook farro and bulgur according to the package directions. Drain and spread on a small baking sheet; chill until dry, about 10 minutes.
2. Step 2Heat broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly oil foil. Place fish, skin side down, on prepared pan. Season with salt and pepper. Broil until just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Let cool until able to handle, then flake into large pieces; discard skin.
3. Step 3Add farro, bulgar, trout, oil, almonds, parsley, and mint to shallots and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
