Arrange the hot-smoked trout and melon on plates.
Poach the eggs and place each egg onto the melon on each plate. Top with a handful of wild rocket, a squeeze of lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil and season to taste.
Cook’s note: Ripe sliced avocado works really well as a substitute for melon in this salad.
