Method

  1. Boil the potatoes in salted water for 15 mins until just tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool, then drain again. Heat the grill.
  2. Meanwhile, mix together the yogurt and mayonnaise, then season with a good squeeze of lemon. Gently stir into the potatoes with the capers, gherkins, most of the spring onion and cucumber.
  3. Season the trout, then grill on a baking sheet, skin-side down, for 3-4 mins depending on thickness, until just cooked. Scatter with lemon zest and serve with the potato salad, scattered with remaining spring onions. Cut the remaining lemon half into wedges for squeezing over.

Tip

Look for packets of trout in Sainsbury's basics range. They are from the same farms as the fish in their other ranges - the fillets are just mis-matched in size.

    Very fresh. I doubled the amount of yoghurt as I can't eat mayo. But was still tasty.

    I used chives as I had some growing and didn't have any spring onions (or cucumber for that matter!). Also, I actually mixed the lemon zest into the potato salad dressing, though I only used a quarter of a lemon. Would definitely recommend and make again. Lovely and fresh on a summer evening.

    The potato salad is amazing, really tasty and worth noting for the future; so creamy and the inclusion of capers really gave it more flavour. I used chives instead of spring onions and didn't add the gherkin. Didn't have any yoghurt so used creme fraiche which worked perfectly but I did increase amount of mayo.

    I'm only reviewing the potato salad as I didn't make the trout and it was absolutely fantastic and fresh tasting. I didn't have any capers and used chives instead of spring onions as that's what I had in. Will definately be making this again as it's so simple but tasty.
