Ingredients

6 (215g) kipfler potatoes (fingerlings), unpeeled, washed, sliced thickly diagonally

2 slice (30g) prosciutto, halved lengthways

2 x 120g ocean trout fillets cooking-oil spray

170 gram asparagus, cut diagonally into 5cm (2-inch) lengths

1 (130g) baby fennel bulb, sliced thinly

80 gram baby rocket leaves (arugula)

2 teaspoon drained baby capers, rinsed

1/4 cup (60ml) buttermilk

2 teaspoon dijon mustard

2 teaspoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon fennel fronds, finely chopped

Method

1.Make buttermilk and fennel dressing. Whisk ingredients, buttermilk, mustard, juice and fennel fronds in a small jug, season to taste.

2.Place potato in a medium saucepan, cover with cold water; bring to the boil. Boil for 10 minutes or until tender. Rinse under cold water. Drain.

3.Wrap prosciutto around fillets. Lightly spray a heated grill plate (or grill or barbecue) with oil, cook trout for 3 minutes each side or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate, cover, rest for 5 minutes.

4.Cook potato and asparagus on the grill plate for 2 minutes or until lightly charred. Remove from heat.

5.Combine potato, asparagus, fennel, rocket and capers in a large bowl. Drizzle with dressing, toss gently to combine. Top potato salad with trout to serve.

If you don’t have a grill plate, you can cook the recipe in a large non-stick frying pan instead. Swap the trout for salmon, if you like. To bulk out the vegetable component of this dish, add some snow peas.
