With spring almost here, what better time to fire up the grill! This Trout a la Plancha recipe from Rob Rossi and Criag Harding features Sumac spice, which is a staple in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. Prized for its unique tangy flavour, it pairs exceptionally well with trout as it adds fresh notes of citrus and a wonderful colour from its deep burgundy berries. The crisp and bitter radicchio goes perfectly with the fattiness of the trout while fresh dill and sherry vinegar bring the whole dish together.
Ingredients
- Source a boneless filet of Rainbow Trout ideally from a sustainable fishery
