Trout is one of the most delicate and beautiful fishes with so many nutrients and is highly underrated.  This dish can be made with any compound butter, it doesn’t have to be curry leaf…  Dinner on the table in 40 minutes is always a winner for me!

The trout was kindly gifted to me by @bitishtrout to support their campaign Shout Out For British Trout to help raise awareness of this highly sustainable, healthy, tasty low-fat fish and encourage people to buy British!!
