tips & techniques
Cook the farro:
1 Cook the farro:

Prepare the ingredients:
2 Prepare the ingredients:

While the farro cooks, wash and dry the fresh produce. Quarter and deseed the lemon. Peel and finely chop the garlic; using the flat side of your knife, smash until it resembles a paste (or use a zester). Halve the zucchini lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch- thick pieces. Cut off and discard the ends of the radishes; halve lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Place in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil; season with salt and pepper.

Make the yogurt sauce:
3 Make the yogurt sauce:

While the farro continues to cook, in a bowl, combine the yogurt, the juice of 2 lemon wedges, as much of the garlic paste as you’d like, and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Cook the zucchini:
4 Cook the zucchini:

While the farro continues to cook, in a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the zucchini pieces and up to half the za’atar seasoning; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 minutes, or until lightly browned and slightly softened. Transfer to a bowl and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. Wipe out the pan.

Cook the fish:
5 Cook the fish:

Pat the fish dry with paper towels; season on both sides with salt, pepper, and as much of the remaining za’atar seasoning as you’d like. In the same pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned fish, skin side down. Cook 4 to 5 minutes on the first side, or until lightly browned and crispy. Flip and cook 2 to 3 minutes, or until cooked through. Turn off the heat.
