Serves 4
2 smoked trout fillets, skin removed and set aside
3 blood oranges or navel oranges
2 avocado
2 cups arugula
1 cup frisee salad
2 Belgian endive sliced across
¼ red onion, very thinly sliced
Dressing:
Juice of 1 Meyer lemon or regular lemon
1 tbsp EVOO Peach Balsamic Vinegar
¼ cup EVOO Blood Orange olive oil
¼ cup EVOO Meyer Lemon olive oil
1 tsp grated orange zest
Sea salt, to taste
Put the lemon juice and Peach Balsamic vinegar in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oils. Stir in the orange zest and season with sea salt. (Add more lemon juice if you want a tarter dressing.)
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Remove the skin from the trout. Lay out on a baking sheet and rub the skin with a little olive oil, then bake for about 10 minutes, until browned and crisp. Flake the trout meat into pieces and set aside.
Using a small sharp knife, peel the oranges removing all the bitter white pith. Working over a bowl, cut in between the membranes to release the sections into the bowl. Squeeze in extra juice (for drinking later).
Slice the avocadoes and drizzle with a little dressing. Put all the lettuce and the red onion into a bowl and toss with some dressing. Lay out lettuce on 4 dinner plates. Top decoratively with orange slices, avocado and smoked trout pieces. Sprinkle a little dressing over the trout and orange slices. Season with a little sea salt.
