Roasted Rainbow Trout and Strawberry Salad

Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 lb rainbow trout fillets
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries thawed
  • 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 garlic clove chopped
  • 1/4 tsp dried red chili flakes
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup thinly sliced radishes
  • 1 medium cucumber chopped
  • 1 yellow or orange bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 2 cups cooked green or black lentils
  • 1/2 cup sliced basil
  • 8 cups baby spinach or other salad greens
  • 1/2 cup crumbled soft goat cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300 F. Season trout with salt and pepper and place skin side down on parchment paper- or silicone sheet-lined baking sheet. Bake fish for 15 minutes, or until just barely cooked through in the thickest part of flesh. Let rest for 5 minutes, then break apart flesh into 2 inch chunks. Alternatively, you can prepare the trout on an outdoor grill.
  • In blender container, place strawberries, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, mustard, honey, garlic, chili flakes, salt, and pepper; blend until smooth.
  • To serve immediately, among 4 salad bowls, divide radishes, cucumber, bell pepper, lentils, basil, baby spinach, trout, and goat cheese. Toss gently together and drizzle dressing overtop each.
  • Make ahead: Divide strawberry dressing among 4 large-mouth 24 oz Mason-style jars. Layer in radishes, cucumber, bell pepper, trout, lentils, basil, baby spinach, and goat cheese, in that order. Seal shut with lids and chill for up to three days.
  • To serve, simply pour contents of jar into a bowl. If needed, scrape out any remaining dressing from bottom of jar.
