Rainbow trout is a perfect quick-cooking fish. When it's seared, the tender flesh—enhanced here by smoky, spicy chipotle chili powder—practically falls off the skin. Filled with colourful veggies, smoky lentils and a citrusy vinaigrette, this salad is a comforting meal served warm, and any leftovers make a light, refreshing lunch straight out of the fridge.
Serve this rich meat sauce on spaghetti or other long pasta. The sauce tastes even better if you make it a day ahead and refrigerate it overnight because the flavour has time to ripen.
Serve with Sweet Potato Frites and lemon wedges.
Wonderfully chunky and rich in flavour, this chutney is delicious with meats, and bread and cheese.
