Step by Step Instructions

1
Smoking the Trout

  • Gently smoke the trout using warm smoke at around 120°C.
  • Check that the oven is holding this temperature and adjust if needed.
  • Place the trout in a cold skillet and put it into the oven.
  • Allow it to smoke slowly until the core temperature reaches 45°C.
  • This process will take approximately 1 hour.

2
Preparing the Potato Salad

  • While the trout is smoking, boil the potatoes in salted water with the skin on until tender.
  • The cooking time will depend on the size of the potatoes.
  • Once cooked, allow them to cool, then peel and cut them into small dice.
  • Finely chop the chives and mix them into the sour cream.
  • Season with salt and black pepper.
  • Add the diced potatoes and mix until evenly combined.

3
Finishing the Trout

  • Once the trout reaches a core temperature of 45°C, remove it from the oven.
  • Use a kitchen thermometer to accurately check the temperature.

4
Serving

  • Place the potato salad into a serving bowl.
  • Carefully cut the trout along the back, remove the skin, and gently separate the meat from the bones.
  • The fish should be very soft and juicy.
  • Place the trout on top of the potato salad.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the wild herbs and season with salt, pepper, apple cider vinegar, and roasted pumpkin seed oil.
  • Finish the dish with the wild herb salad and a final drizzle of pumpkin seed oil.
