Smoked Trout Watercress And Apple Salad With Creamy Horseradish Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk cream, horseradish, 2 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons vinegar, chopped dill and cayenne in small bowl to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Place watercress in large bowl. Add 1/3 cup cream dressing, 2 tablespoons oil and 2 teaspoons vinegar and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mound watercress in center of each of 6 plates. Top with sliced onion. Fan apple slices atop salad. Top with trout. Spoon dressing over. Garnish with dill sprigs, if desired, and serve.

Steps:

• Take an empty jam jar with a lid, put in a pinch of salt, a good grind of pepper, plus the mustard, olive oil and vinegar. Shake and place the jar in the fridge - use as you want, it will last a few weeks.
• Cut the beetroot into quarters and place in a bowl. Add in the creamed horseradish and 2 tbsp dressing, stir well. Remove the skin from the trout and break the fish into pieces about the size of a 50p. Mix together the watercress and the beetroot, then top with the smoked trout.

Steps:

• Combine apple slices and lemon juice in medium bowl; toss gently to coat. Cut trout fillets lengthwise in half, then cut each half into apple-slice-size pieces. Drain apple slices; place on platter. Top each slice with 1 watercress sprig, then 1 trout piece. Sprinkle with pepper. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover and chill.) Serve.

Steps:

• Put the fennel in a shallow serving dish and scatter over the apple, spring onions and beetroots. Flake the trout into chunky pieces and arrange on top. Sprinkle with half the dill fronds. Finely chop the remaining fronds and reserve.
• Mix the yogurt and horseradish with 1 tbsp cold water, then stir in the reserved dill. Pour half the dressing over the salad and toss very lightly. Spoon over the remaining dressing and serve.
