Trout salad with honey-gochujang butter

Easy
5 minutes
15 minutes

This easy, scrumptious salad comes together in no more than 20 minutes, and it’s a perfect supper when you’re trying to beat the loadshedding clock. I use smoked trout ribbons – just 200 g can feed four when used this way. Spoon this hot honeyed gochujang on any and everything, it’ll be your new favourite condiment.
