Seared trout bruschetta with horseradish

 

 

 

Method:

This makes a delicious light lunch or snack supper. Using a pair of tweezers pull out any small bones that may still remain in the trout fillets.

  • Toast the bread under the grill or on a griddle, rub all over with the garlic clove and drizzle with oil. Keep warm in a low oven. Combine the creme fraiche, horseradish, chives and salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, lightly season the fillets and brush over a little extra oil. Heat a frying pan until really hot and sear the trout skin side down for 3 minutes, flip and cook for a further 30 seconds.
  • Arrange the seared trout over the bruschetta with a dollop of the horseradish cream and some rocket leaves. Serve drizzled with lemon juice and extra olive oil.
