  • 227 g trout filet
  • 5 g garlic
  • 10 g finely chopped Italian parsley
  • 3 g fresh oregano
  • 20 ml extra-virgin olive oil
  • 8 g all-purpose flour
  • 120 g asparagus
  • 150 g potatoes
  • 30 ml fresh lemon juice
  • 10 g unsalted butter
  • 2 g sea salt
  • 0.5 g black pepper

Method

  1. Prepare the salmoriglio sauce by combining lemon juice, sea salt, black pepper, parsley, oregano, and finely minced garlic. Slowly whisk in the extra-virgin olive oil until lightly emulsified.
  2. Peel and slice the potatoes. Blanch until just tender, cool briefly, then pan-toast with a touch of butter. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Blanch the asparagus until bright green, then finish in a sauté pan with a small amount of olive oil.
  4. Lightly flour the trout filet. Heat olive oil and butter in a frying pan and sauté the trout on both sides until golden and cooked through.
  5. Arrange the toasted potatoes and asparagus on the plate, place the trout filet on top, and spoon the salmoriglio over the fish before serving.
Chef’s Note: Salmoriglio should stay bright and fresh. Add it at the end so the lemon, herbs, and olive oil lift the trout instead of becoming muted in the pan.
