Trout with dill butter

For the trout:

2 trout fillets, skin on
2–3 tbsp Rockfish Dill Butter
1 tbsp olive oil
Sea salt & black pepper
Lemon wedges, to serve

For the salad:

A handful of your preferred salad leaves
5g spring onions, finely sliced
5g red onions, finely sliced
15g cucumber (about 5 slices), cut into small pieces
Olive oil, lemon juice, salt & pepper (to dress)

Method

Season the trout

Pat the trout dry and season both sides with sea salt.

Heat the pan

Place a pan over medium–high heat. Add the olive oil and let it get hot.

Cook the trout

Lay the fillets in the pan skin-side down, pressing gently with a spatula for the first few seconds to keep the skin flat.
Cook for 3–4 minutes until the skin is crisp and the flesh is almost cooked through.

Make the salad

In a bowl, combine the salad leaves, spring onions, red onions and cucumber.
Dress lightly with olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss and set aside.

Add the dill butter

Flip the trout, reduce the heat, and add a generous spoonful of Rockfish Dill Butter.
Let it melt and foam, then spoon it over the fish for 1–2 minutes until just cooked.

Serve

Plate the trout, spoon over the buttery pan juices, and add the fresh salad on the side.
Finish with a squeeze of lemon.
