Image taken from Delicious

About 2 large Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 3mm slices

1 Tbsp. olive oil

1 large red onion, sliced

1Ttbsp. plain flour

A few handfuls of baby spinach

Butter, for greasing

Hot Smoked Rainbow Trout

200ml whipping cream

50g grated Gruyère

These measurements are approximate.  

This is something simple and impressive looking. It is adapted from the Delicious Magazine website JANUARY 2009. I have an electric smoker and for this recipe I set it to 250°F and smoked the trout an hour. This leaves the fish a nice smoke flavour but not over cooked. You could also just use uncooked unsmoked fish. When you have all your ingredients prepared, preheat your oven to 375°F. Bring a pot of salted water to the boil, then simmer the potatoes for 10-15 minutes. Drain and set aside. This first time I made this I cooked the sliced potatoes in the whipping cream until they were cooked but still firm. It took about 15 minutes.

Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and gently fry the red onion for 5 minutes, then stir in the flour.

Wilt the spinach in the potato water or cream over a medium heat, then squeeze out the excess liquid. Butter an ovenproof dish and layer up the potatoes and onion with the trout and the spinach, ending with a layer of potato.

Pour the cream over the top. Sprinkle with the Gruyère and bake for 20-30 minutes, until golden and bubbling.
