The secret to a successful sheet pan meal is to layer the different ingredients at appropriate intervals, so that nothing gets overcooked or undercooked. Here, we give the carrots a 10-minute head start before adding the fish, and then toss on the olives to warm them just before the fish is ready.
1 cup whole grain farro
½ teaspoon minced garlic
½ teaspoon lemon zest
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cumin
