  Very delicious but light. Made sure I pin-boned the trout fillets with tweezers and I also served the sauce warm by heating it in microwave. Didn't bother with the lettuce but served it with new spuds and steamed tenderstem broc.

  I thourght the reciepe was tasty, but second time around i used a little less formage frais and found this enables the watercress to come through a touch more bringing a deeper flavour.
