Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
- Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper
- Pull out a small frying pan, a medium bowl & a measuring jug
Get roasting
- Dice the potatoes into 2cm chunks, then add to a lined baking tray. Toss with 1 tsp oil, salt and pepper. Roast for 5-10 mins
- After 5-10 mins, season the trout with salt, then place, skin-side down, onto the other lined baking tray. Drizzle with 1 tsp oil and bake for 20 mins, until the trout is cooked through and the potatoes are soft and golden
Prep the rest & pickle the shallot
- Thinly slice the shallots. Halve the tomatoes (quarter any larger ones). Finely chop the chives. Trim the broccoli and cut into thirds
- Combine the vinegar with a pinch of salt and pepper in the medium bowl. Add half the shallot, toss to coat, then set aside to pickle
Roast the broccoli
- In the final 10 mins, add the broccoli to the trout tray, drizzle with 1 tsp oil, a pinch of salt and pepper and return to the oven to roast for the remaining time, until soft and golden
Make the sauce & assemble the salad
- Meanwhile, heat the small frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the remaining shallot and cook for 4-5 mins, until softened. Season with salt and pepper
- Stir through the garlic herb paste and cook for a further minute, then add the soft cheese and 120ml water. Stir until dissolved and simmer for 2-3 mins, until thickened slightly. Stir through three-quarters of the chives and season to taste
- When everything is ready, toss the rocket and tomatoes through the pickled shallot bowl
Plate up
- Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork
- Serve the roast trout, broccoli and potatoes onto plates with the salad alongside. Spoon over the chive sauce and garnish with the remaining chives, to finish
