Method

Preparing the Gravlax

  1. 1

    Curing the Trout

    In a bowl, mix together the coarse sea salt, brown sugar, black peppercorns, lemon zest, orange zest, and chopped dill. Rub this mixture evenly over the trout fillet. Place the trout in a dish, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 24-48 hours.

  2. 2

    Rinse and Slice the Trout

    After curing, rinse the trout under cold water to remove the curing mixture. Pat dry with paper towels and slice thinly.

Preparing the Salad

  1. 3

    Blanch the Asparagus

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green asparagus and blanch for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and immediately plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In a bowl, combine the blanched asparagus, orange segments, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to combine.

Preparing the Smoked Cream

  1. 5

    Mix the Smoked Cream

    In a small bowl, combine the crème fraîche, smoked paprika, lemon zest, and salt. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
