Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
  • Line a large baking tray with parchment paper
  • Pull out a small frying pan, a medium bowl & a measuring jug

Get roasting

  • Quarter the potatoes and add to the lined lined baking tray. Toss with 1 tsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast for 25-30 mins, until soft and golden
  • After 5-10 mins, season the trout with salt, then place (skin-side down) onto one side of the the lined baking tray. Drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil and bake for 20 mins, until cooked through

Prep & pickle

  • Thinly slice the shallot and chives. Halve the tomatoes. Trim the broccoli and cut into thirds
  • In the medium bowl, combine the vinegar with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add half the shallot, toss to coat, then set aside to pickle

Add the broccoli

  • When the trout and potatoes have 10 mins remaining, add the broccoli to the tray, drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil, season with salt and pepper and return to the oven to roast for the remaining time

Make the sauce & assemble the salad

  • Meanwhile, heat the small frying pan with 1 tsp olive 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 100m water ( 50ml for 1 person). Simmer for 2-3 mins until thickened slightly. Stir through half 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
  • Share the roast trout, broccoli and potatoes between plates with the salad alongside. Spoon over the creamy sauce and garnish with the remaining chives
