Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚. Place the walnuts on a sheet pan and cook until lightly toasted, about 8 minutes. Transfer the walnuts to a cutting board and when cool enough to handle, roughly chop and set aside.

Place the fish on the lined sheet pan and drizzle each fillet with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Transfer to the oven and bake until the fish reaches an internal temperature of 125˚, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil, the vinegar and honey. Season with a pinch of salt and a twist of black pepper. Add the walnuts, grapes, parsley and scallions and toss together.
