• 300 g fresh lightly smoked trout

Method

Ingredients

1. Place the trout in a saucepan just large enough to take it. Pour over 1 cup fish stock. Bring to a simmer and cover tightly. Turn off the heat and allow to stand for a few minutes, or until barely cooked. Keep warm while preparing the sauce.

2. Whisk the egg yolks with the lemon juice and 3 T of the poaching liquid in a saucepan over a gentle heat until slightly thickened and warmed through. Stir in the dill.

3. Remove the skin from the fish and serve with the sauce and steamed sliced potatoes.

Cook's note: Refrigerate the fish stock for later use.
