Good to know

Smoked trout is an often underrated fine fish. Its salty note goes spectacularly well with the sweetness of a fresh apple.

Swaps

Lamb's lettuce → spinach (young leaf spinach has a bit more bite and adds more volume to the flat plate).

Cooking tips

Only cut the apple at the very end, as it quickly turns brown in the air. Otherwise, a little lemon juice stops it discolouring.

Storage

Unopened in its vacuum pack, the trout fillet often keeps in the fridge for weeks without any problem.
