This is a deliciously clean and easy to prepare starter, the perfect balance to a richer main course. It is also so versatile that it works with all types of trout – hot or cold smoked, or unsmoked cooked fillet.
If like me you keep capers in the cupboard, ginger in the freezer and always have salad in the fridge then its perfect for when you’d forgotten you were meant to be cooking dinner.
Ingredients
For the salad:
Hot smoked trout or cold smoked trout or pre-cooked trout fillet
Strong tasting salad leaves such as rocket
Yellow or red peppers or both
Fresh coriander
Thinly sliced ginger
Capers
For the dressing:
Lime juice
Grated ginger
Sesame oil
Soy sauce
White wine vinegar or rice vinegar
One useful tip, use scissors to cut the trout into bitesize pieces.
Then just add the trout and chopped pepper to the salad, add the dressing, toss the whole salad and add cracked black pepper and a sprinkling of coriander as a garnish.
Use both red and yellow peppers for maximum effect.
Delicious and exceptionally healthy.
