I love cooking with farmed trout first of all because it is responsible practice but also tastes really good and as some are farmed in sea water and dubbed ocean trout which I used for this recipe has a wonderful rich flavour. This recipe is great for entertaining and good for any event. Just double up the amount of fish to suit your guests. This dish works well as a starter or as a main course. I include a recipe for delicious lemony fennel mayonaisse. Serve with a simple garden salad, home made mayo and some French baguette for a quick and easy impressive meal.
