Lightly smoked trout with charred leeks

By Abigail Donnelly
2
Easy
10 minutes
15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 200 g baby leeks, halved lengthways
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 250 g Woolworths lightly smoked rainbow trout
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Method

Heat a griddle pan over a medium heat. Brush the cut side of the leeks with a little olive oil, then place, cut side down, on the grill. Cook for 5 minutes, until nicely charred.

Heat a pan over a high heat. Brush the skin of the trout with the remaining oil, then place it in the pan, flesh side up. Cook for 3 minutes, until the skin is golden and crisp. Remove from the pan. Do not cook the flesh side.

Place the leeks on a serving dish, top with the trout and serve with the lemon wedges.
