Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

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

Roast the potatoes

  • Quarter the potatoes and add to the lined lined baking tray. Toss with 1 tsp oil, 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 oil and bake for 20 mins, until cooked through

Prep the veg & pickle the shallot

  • Thinly slice the shallot. Halve the tomatoes. Thinly slice 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 of the shallot, toss to coat, then set aside to pickle

Roast the tenderstem

  • When the trout and potatoes have 10 mins remaining, add the tenderstem to the tray, drizzle with 1 tsp oil, a pinch of salt and pepper and return to the oven to roast for 10-12 mins

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 and herb paste and cook for a further minute, then add the soft cheese and 100ml of 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
