Ingredients
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
4 whole cleaned, deboned trout (about 10 ounces each), heads, tails and fins removed
Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 cups baby arugula (about 3 ounces)
4 radishes, thinly sliced
1 large celery stalk, thinly sliced
1 14-ounce can hearts of palm, drained and sliced
1/2 cup fresh parsley
1/4 cup jarred Peppadew peppers, roughly chopped, plus 2 to 3 teaspoons brine from the jar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1/2 cup fat-free croutons
Directions
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 450 degrees F. Brush 2 rimmed baking sheets with olive oil. Pat the fish dry with paper towels and transfer to the baking sheets; open so the fish is skin-side down. Drizzle half of the lemon juice over the fish and season with salt and pepper. Roast, switching the pans halfway through, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the arugula, radishes, celery, hearts of palm, parsley and Peppadews in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, lemon zest, the remaining lemon juice and the Peppadew brine; season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Top each fish with the salad, chives and croutons.
Cook’s Note
Order whole trout from a fish counter and ask for it to be cleaned and trimmed.
