Steps

1
Preheat oven to 400°F. In a multicooker or electric pressure cooker, combine farro and water. Seal and bring to high pressure. Cook, under pressure, 8 min. Allow pressure to release naturally 5 min., then switch to quick release. Drain any excess liquid.

3
When farro is cooked, pulse sweet potatoes in a food processor until slightly chunky. Add drained farro, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pulse until just combined. Form into 8 (½-inch-thick) patties.

Rub fish with 2 tbsp oil, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Arrange in greased baking dish and bake 10–13 min., until cooked through.
5
In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat remaining 2 tbsp olive oil on medium-high. Cook sweet potato cakes 3 min. per side, until golden brown. In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, lime juice, and salt. Serve tilapia with sweet potato cakes and lime crema. Garnish fish with parsley.
