Instructions
1
Combine the salt, brown sugar, rosemary and zest in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
2
Lay out a sheet of plastic wrap and sprinkle a thick layer of the cure mixture
onto itâroughly the size of 1 trout fillet. Lay a fillet on top of the cure then
top with another layer of the cure. Wrap the fillet nice and tight and try to
get all of the air out.
3
Repeat the process with the other 3 fillets and place them in the refrigerator
for 2 days to cure.
4
Rinse the fillets well before smoking.
5
Trout is so delicate that itâs important to smoke it at the lowest temperature
possible (around 100°) and always smoke the fish with the skin side down to
protect the meat. After the curing process, it isnât difficult to impart the
smoke flavor (I prefer applewood)âit should only take about 45 minutes. As soon
as the white proteins, or albumen, begin to seep out from the fillet, itâs ready
to remove from heat and chill for later use.
6
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk together.
7
Add a splash of extra-virgin olive oil to a large, nonstick pan set over medium
heat.
8
Gently add the trout fillets to the pan, skin side down, and let them sear for
around 3 minutes to crisp the skinâthis adds great texture and amazing flavor to
the salad.
9
Place the greens, oranges and shallots in a large bowl, add citronette to taste
and toss.
10
Divide the salad onto 4 plates and top each with 1 fillet, skin side up.
