TINY ‘TATOES
Place the halved baby potatoes in a pot of salted water over high heat. Pop on a lid and bring to the boil. Once boiling, remove the lid and reduce the heat. Simmer until cooked through and soft, 15-20 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain. Cover with the lid to keep warm.
FOR THE FRESHNESS
Boil the kettle. Submerge the peas in boiling water until plump and heated through, 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside. Rinse, pick, and finely chop the mixed herbs. Rinse and roughly shred the salad leaves. Peel the cucumber into ribbons.
DRESSED TO IMPRESS
In a small bowl, combine ½ the chopped herbs, the mustard vinaigrette, a drizzle of olive oil, a sweetener, and seasoning.
SUNNY SEEDS
Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE TROUT
Pat the trout dry with paper towel and season. Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the trout, skin-side down, until crispy, 2-3 minutes. Flip and fry until cooked through to your preference, for a further 30-60 seconds. Remove from the pan and flake the cooked trout using two forks. Roughly chop the crispy trout skin.
SUMMER SALAD PERFECTION
Make a bed of the shredded salad leaves and the cucumber ribbons. Scatter over the baby potatoes, the plumped peas, the sunflower seeds, and the flaked trout. Drizzle over the dressing and garnish with the chopped crispy skin and the remaining chopped herbs. Finish it off with a crack of black pepper. Dig in, Chef!
