Rainbow Trout on Noodles with Fennel and Parsley

A Valentine’s dinner for 2

It’s time to start thinking about the first big day of the year, Valentine’s Day it’s only a couple of weeks away and you want to be ready.

You could take your special person out for dinner but wouldn't it be nice to produce something with loving care in the comfort of your own home, something that looks and tastes really impressive but at the same time is so simple to prepare.

If you need to clean and trim your trout then see how do this here.

You will need

 

2 – Whole Rainbow Trout

A small bunch of Fresh Parsley (roughly chopped)

½ a bulb – Fennel (thinly sliced then roughly chopped)

A little Olive Oil

4 pinches – Sea Salt

4 knobs – Butter

300 Gm  – Fresh Noodles

On each side of the fish make some small cuts about 1 cm apart, rub the skin with olive oil and rub in a pinch of salt.

Mix the parsley and fennel together and stuff it in the cavity.

Heat your grill to its hottest temperature and place the trout under about 4 – 5 inches below the heat for about 6 -8 minutes each side.

Times will vary according to your grill so keep an eye on it, the fish should have a crispy skin and be cooked all the way through.

Meanwhile cook your noodles according to the instructions on the packet.

Serve on a platter or large plate of noodles with a salad in the centre to share.
