Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 210°C.
  • Dot butter over a large sheet of greaseproof paper on a baking tray.
  • Stuff one trout with herbs and lemon slices, season, and top with watercress.
  • Fold the paper edges to form a sealed parcel, using foil if necessary.
  • Repeat the process for the remaining three trout until four parcels are prepared.
  • Bake the trout parcels for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Boil potatoes in salted water for 10 to 12 minutes, drain, and toss with butter.
  • Combine smoked trout, watercress, walnuts, and pears in a bowl.
  • Whisk vinegar, oil, and honey, season, and drizzle over the salad mixture.
  • Mix mustard, horseradish cream, and crème fraîche in a separate bowl.
  • Serve the baked trout with the buttered potatoes, salad, and horseradish cream.
