From the Test Kitchen

Flaky tilapia is topped with a quick and easy relish made from pickled peppers and almonds, for tangy-sweet contrast and a bit of crunch in each bite. We’re serving it over a bed of nutty farro and seasonal vegetables, brought together by rich crème fraîche just before serving.

2 Prepare the ingredients & make the relish:

While the farro cooks, wash and dry the fresh produce. Remove and discard the husks and silks of the corn. Cut the kernels off the cobs; discard the cobs. If necessary, peel the garlic, then roughly chop. Depending on their size, quarter or halve the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces; place in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Thinly slice the chives. Roughly chop the peppers and almonds. Place in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

While the farro continues to cook, pat the fish dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned fish; cook 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and cooked through. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a plate. Cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.

Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until softened. Add the seasoned tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until combined. Turn off the heat.
