Ingredients
• 1 trout, gutted and ready for cooking and divided into 4 fillets of 125 g each
• 40 g flour
• Olive oil
• 1 pinch of salt
• 8 handfuls of wild herb salad with edible flowers
• 12 stalks of green asparagus
• 2 handfuls of strawberries
• 1 lemon
• 4 tablespoons mixed herbs (parsley, chives, chervil, tarragon), finely chopped
• 8 colorful bunched carrots
For the dressing:
• 4 tbsp white wine vinegar
• 2 pinches of salt
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 pinches black pepper, fresh
ground
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
preparation
➊ Cut the woody ends off the asparagus and peel the last third if necessary. Brush or peel the carrots and leave a little green on each carrot. Roll them in a little olive oil together with the asparagus and season with salt. Wash the strawberries, drain them, remove the green stalks and then quarter the fruit.
➋ Sprinkle the fish fillets with lemon juice, season with salt and coat in flour. Fry on a plancha or cast iron grill plate with a dash of oil at a moderate heat until crispy on both sides. Place the asparagus and carrots on the hot grill and grill for about 2 minutes on each side.
➌ Wash the wild herb salad, spin it dry and put it in a bowl. For the dressing, mix the vinegar with the salt in a bowl until the salt crystals have dissolved. Then add the mustard and pepper. Stir in the olive oil vigorously with a whisk until the oil and vinegar have combined to form an emulsion - i.e. a homogeneous mixture.
➍ Finally, fold in the herbs and immediately mix the dressing with the wild herb salad so that the acid and oil do not separate again - and then add the strawberries. Cut the grilled carrots into slices and fold them in as well.
➎ To serve, mix everything together again and serve with the trout fillet and grilled asparagus.
