Grilled courgettes

Method
1
To begin, prepare the grilled courgettes. Heat a chargrill pan over a high heat and toss the courgette ribbons in oil and seasoning. Once the pan is very hot, add the ribbons and cook until they have nice char lines on the underside. Turn over and cook for a minute or so more until cooked through. Set aside in a warm place

To pan-roast the trout, place a sheet of greaseproof paper in a pan and add a drop of oil. Once hot, season the trout with salt and add to the pan, skin-side down. Place another sheet of greaseproof paper on top and place another pan on top of the fish – the pressure will ensure the skin is nice and crispy and that the fish is evenly cooked

Carefully turn the fillets to cook on all sides – if you notice dots of white protein appearing on the fish, it is almost overcooked

Allow the fillets to rest for a few minutes while you make the sauce vierge. Simple combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix well to combine everything

To serve, place the trout fillets on warm plates with a mound of the courgettes and a drizzle of sauce vierge
