How to make it
Steps in our own plain words.
-
Tip all the dressing ingredients in a food processor using a pinch of salt plus blitz to a dressing.
-
Slash the fish three times on every side, coat with half of the dressing.
-
Put it to one side to marinate for about 30 mins.
-
Turn the oven on to 425°F (400°F for a fan oven).
-
Place the fish on a roasting tray.
-
Heat in the oven for 20 mins till your flesh is firm plus the eyes have turned white.
-
Dish up your fish using the rest of your dressing and steamed couscous or rice.
-
If you want to take out your bones they're easy to locate plus less likely to be lodged in your fillet if the fish is cooked whole.
-
Fillets can be pan-fried or grilled.
-
If you like trout, you will.
-
One thing that you ’t miss are the cheeks or ‘pearls’ sweet, moist, these are lovely and of the fish – well worth leaving the head on for.
On the side: Green salad
A side we added to round out the meal. It is not part of the original recipe.
How to make it (10 min)
