I’ve been given a load of trout fillets, any stunningly simple yet tasty ideas for what I can do with them?

Eat them? You might want to cook them first.

That.

Skin side down in a hot pan until they're nearly cooked through, flip them over to finish them off, put them in your face. If they're fresh you don't want to mess around with them too much.

Here's a couple for you:

Cook as described above (plus a spash of lemon juice to finish), and serve with a salsa verdi (1 small bunch of parsley, 1/2 bunch mint, 1/2 bunch basil, 2 tsp dijon mustand, 1/2 tin of anchovies, 1 medium gherkin, 1 tsp capers, 3 tbsp EV olive oil - all blitzed together). Serve with buttered new potatoes or "Mediterranean" rice (Long grain/wild rice mix cooked in veg stock, with chopped red peppers, black olive and sun-dried tomatoes mixed through, finished with a tbsp of the sun-dried tomato oil).

Thai style - make a marinate of chilli, garlic, fish sauce, lime juice, sugar and chilli. Let the fish sit in it for an hour or so, remove and cook skin-side down til nearly cooked, then switch off heat, flip it and let in finish in the still warm pan. Meanwhile, boil some kale til al-dente and drain. Remove fish from the pan and keep warm. Fry cooked Kale in the fish pan (using a little sesame oil), pouring over 80% of the left-over marinade and a couple of extra tsp of sugar once it starts to go semi-crispy. Warm the remaining marinade in the mircowave and pour over the finished fish.

I have a great Michel Roux Jr recipe for trout. Mainly it's the sauce that's bloody awesome. If you like I can send you it (tonight).

Yes please, send it over, I've got enough for a few meals.

Lasts for ages when smoked and makes a fine sandwich when mixed with mayonnaise and horseradish. Flake it into risotto, white sauce, or mashed potato to make a lazy meal seem fancy.

Good call, I have an unhealthy passion for mashed potato!

[Mito Man]

I’d just fry it in butter and serve with a cold potato salad in this weather. Fuck putting too much effort in.
