Depending on what is available locally, how it is fished or farmed this can have a significant effect on the taste. We have used a certified organic sustainable aquaculture ocean trout and the results are delicious. Baked with lemon and placed on a bed of sweet potato mash drizzled with lemon butter and a simple side of rocket is a great combination. You can cut down the time or make it simpler by the type of sides you use for this dish. Although the instructions seem lengthy, it is quite a simple dish to prepare.

Ingredients

  • 4 fillets of ocean trout – 15 x 5cm / 6 x 2in slices – purchased deboned, rinsed
  • 1 lemon – washed, cut into 8 slices
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 50g / 1.7oz butter
  • 1 tablespoon lemon rind – approximately 1/2 lemon, washed, grated yellow rind
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice – approximately 1/2 lemon
  • 1 serving – Sweet potato creamy mash
  • 1 serving – Super easy rocket salad with honey
