Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Courgette Spaghetti

    Using a spiralizer or a julienne peeler, create spaghetti-like strands from the courgettes. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Grill the Fennel

    Slice the fennel bulbs lengthwise and grill them on a medium heat until they are tender and have grill marks, about 4-5 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Sea Trout

    In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Season the sea trout fillets with salt and pepper. Cook skin-side down for about 5-6 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the fish is cooked through. Remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Make the Gougères

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of water with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and bring to a boil. Add the flour all at once, stirring vigorously until the mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing until smooth. Stir in the grated cheese. Pipe or spoon small mounds onto a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until puffed and golden.

  5. 5

    Whip the Fish Roe

    In a bowl, mix the fish roe with a bit of olive oil and finely chopped fresh herbs to enhance flavor. Adjust seasoning if needed.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, create a bed of courgette spaghetti, place the grilled fennel on top, and then add the cooked sea trout. Garnish with the whipped fish roe and gougères on the side.
