Ocean Trout with Cranberry Honey Glaze & Fennel Salad

1. Clean and pin bone the ocean trout, leaving the skin on. Rub virgin olive oil and sea salt over the ocean trout.

2. To prepare your glaze, mix 4 tbsp cranberry sauce with 2 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar and 1 tbsp virgin olive oil. Place in a small pot over medium heat and reduce until thickened, about 6 minutes. Finally stir in the remaining 2 tbsp of cranberry sauce, and leave to one side to cool before brushing on your ocean trout.

3. Preheat your oven to 190c (180c fan-forced). On a baking tray, prepare tin foil and baking paper (on top of tin foil) to wrap over your ocean trout. Place the piece of ocean trout on the lined baking paper, brush on generously the prepared glaze, leaving …“ of the glaze for later use. Wrap the ocean trout and bake for 20-25 minutes.

4. In the meantime, prepare your shaved fennel salad by cutting the fennel bulb in half, remove the centre stalk and shave your fennel on your mandoline in the thinnest setting possible. In a small mixing bowl, place shaved fennel along with 1 tbsp of virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and season with sea salt.

5. To finish off your ocean trout, unwrap your trout, keeping it on the tray. Brush on the remaining glaze and put under the grill for 5 minutes.

6. To serve, place the baked ocean trout on a platter, spooning on some of the juices, and top with the shaved fennel salad.
