Ingredients

  • 500g broad beans, podded weight (about 1.5kg in the pods)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 trout fillets
  • 150ml dry white wine
  • 150ml double cream
  • 1 large or 2 medium-sized courgettes, about 300g, diced
  • 3 tbsp chopped fresh dill
  • juice of 1⁄2 lemon

Step by step

Get ahead
Double pod the beans (see step 1).
  1. Boil the broad beans in unsalted water for 5 minutes, drain, then tip into a bowl of iced water. Once the beans are cool enough to handle, squeeze them from their outer shells to reveal the vivid green insides.
  2. Heat a large heavy-based frying pan over a medium heat. Add half the oil then 2 of the trout fillets, skin-side down. Cook over a moderate heat for 2 minutes, the fillets should look a little golden around the edges. Turn them over and cook for 1-2 minutes until just cooked through. Put on a plate and keep warm, then repeat with the other fillets.
  3. Tip the wine into the hot pan and cook for 2 minutes, to reduce by half, stirring to deglaze. Add the cream, beans and courgettes. Simmer until the sauce reduces and thickens. Add 2 tablespoons dill, then season and add lemon juice to taste.
  4. Divide the sauce and vegetables between 4 plates and arrange the trout on top, skin- side up, and scattered with the reserved dill. Serve with baby new potatoes.
Chef quote
This is a very simple recipe that makes an impressive supper. The easy sauce relies on using double cream, so don't skimp on this
