Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Cook the spelt according to package directions. Meanwhile, combine the orange juice, vinegar, and olive oil in a large bowl; season with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper. Add the plums, fennel, shallots, and jalapeño and toss well to coat with the dressing.
  2. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and brush the grates with oil. Toss the scallops with the cilantro, orange zest, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper. Grill the scallops until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a large plate.

  3. Fluff the spelt with a fork and add it to the plum and fennel salad. Add mint. Divide the salad among plates and top with the scallops.
