Trout En Croûte

Whether you use salmon or trout, this creamy filling and flaky pastry pocket are the perfect vehicle for a beautiful piece of fish like this. I prefer Chalkstream rainbow trout, which I get from Pesky Fish.

Cook

35m

Ingredients

Method

Turn cooking mode on

Step 1

Set a pan over medium heat and add butter or olive oil. Soften the onion and garlic until fragrant and translucent.

1 tbsp Butter

Olive oil

1 Onion

2 Garlic cloves

Step 2

Add the spinach and kale, letting them wilt down completely. Season well with salt and pepper.

2 handfuls Spinach

200 g Cavolo nero

Salt

Pepper

Step 3

Stir in the Parmesan and cream cheese and cook until the mix is thick and creamy. Most of the moisture should be gone.

60 g Parmesan

200 g Cream cheese

Step 4

Add a teaspoon of nutmeg, then set aside to cool completely.

1 tsp Ground nutmeg

Step 5

Lay one sheet of puff pastry on a lined baking tray. Place the trout fillet in the centre, skin side down.

2 sheets Puff pastry

1 side Trout

Step 6

Spread the cooled spinach mixture evenly over the fish.

Step 7

Brush a little water around the pastry edges, then lay the second sheet on top. Press the edges together, trim away any excess, and crimp all the way round with a fork or your fingers to seal.

Step 8

Brush with beaten egg yolk, then lightly score the top in a crosshatch or diagonal pattern for decoration. Make two steam holes to keep the pastry crisp.

1 Egg yolk

Step 9

Bake at 200°C (fan 180°C) for about 25–30 minutes, or until the pastry is deeply golden and crisp.

Step 10

Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Step 11

Serve with roasted potatoes and a handful of peppery greens dressed simply with olive oil and lemon.
