Ingredients

  • 200g of good quality yoghurt

  • peel from half a preserved lemon, finely diced

  • 2 tbsp capers

  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • sea salt

  • 1 fennel bulb

  • juice of half a lemon

  • 100g hot smoked or barbecued trout

Method

  1. Stir the chopped preserve lemon into the yoghurt along with the capers, a good pinch of sea salt and a little black pepper. Spread the flavoured yoghurt between two serving plates and drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil all over.

  2. Trim and slice the fennel, reserving any herby fronds. You want the fennel sliced very thinly into small shavings. Place in a bowl with a pinch of sea salt and the juice of half a lemon.

  3. Leave to marinate for a couple of minutes before placing on the yoghurt. Flake the hot smoked salmon and arrange on the plate in and amongst the fennel. Finally garnish with reserved fennel herb.
