FONDANT POTATOES
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Boil the kettle. Dilute the stock with 100ml of boiling water. Place an ovenproof pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, fry the potato pieces, cut side down, until the base is golden, 5 minutes. Flip and pour in the diluted stock. Pop in the hot oven and bake until the potatoes are tender, 25-30 minutes (adding more water if necessary).
BROWN BUTTER SAUCE
Roughly chop the mixed nuts. Place the pan over medium heat with 20g of butter. Once melted, fry until brown, 30-60 seconds (shifting constantly). Add the chopped nuts and toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove the pan from the heat and quickly mix in the juice from 2 lemon wedges (to taste), the lemon zest (to taste), ½ the chopped parsley, and seasoning. Cover and set aside.
SUN-DRIED TOMATO SALAD
To a salad bowl, toss together the shredded salad leaves, the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, the cucumber half-moons, a squeeze of lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Set aside.
CRISPY FRIED FISH
Place a clean pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the trout dry with paper towel. Coat the trout in the flour, gently pressing to ensure it sticks. When hot, fry the fish, skin-side down, until crispy, 2-3 minutes. Flip and fry the other side until cooked through, 30-60 seconds. Remove from the pan and season.
