Introduction
A perfectly seared trout fillet featuring a sweet and tangy glaze, served over a crisp apple and spinach salad. Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 12 minutes Servings: 2 people Ingredients For the Trout: 2 Trout fillets (freshly filleted) 1 tbsp Mayonnaise (the secret for a crispy skin) 1 tbsp Butter (for frying) Seasoning: Salt, to taste For the Honey Mustard Glaze: 1 tsp Mustard (Dijon or yellow) 2 tsp Honey ½ tsp Smoked paprika ½ tsp Black pepper 1 tsp Dried dill Zest of 1 lemon For the Fresh Salad: 1 handful Baby spinach ½ Apple, thinly sliced 5-6 Cherry tomatoes, halved 1 tbsp Olive oil Juice of ½ lemon
  1. Prep the Fish Using a sharp knife, make thin, shallow scores (cuts) on the skin of the fillets. This prevents the fish from curling in the pan. Lightly salt both sides and let them rest for a few minutes.
  2. Mix the Glaze & Salad Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon zest, mustard, honey, smoked paprika, black pepper, and dill. Set aside. Salad: In a medium bowl, toss the spinach, apple slices, and cherry tomatoes with olive oil and lemon juice. Season with a pinch of salt and set aside.
    8 Gram Honey 50 Gram Apple 50 Gram cherry tomatoes 3 Gram Lemon zest
  3. The "Crispy Skin" Secret Pat the skin of the trout completely dry with a paper towel. Spread a thin, even layer of mayonnaise over the skin side. This creates a protective barrier that results in an incredibly golden, crispy texture.
    20 Gram Mayonnaise
  4. Pan-Sear Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once sizzling, place the fillets skin-side down. Press down gently with a spatula for the first 30 seconds. Cook for about 10 minutes until the skin is deeply golden and the flesh is mostly cooked through.
    15 Gram Butter
  5. Flip & Glaze Flip: Carefully turn the fillets over and cook the flesh side for just 1 minute. Glaze: Flip them back to skin-side down. Brush the honey mustard glaze generously over the top (the flesh side). Cook for one more minute to allow the glaze to warm and caramelize slightly.

  6. Serve Plate the fresh salad first. Carefully place the trout fillets on top. Serve immediately while the skin is at its crunchiest!
