40ml (1/4 cup) lemon juice
1 garlic clove, crushed
50ml water
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil for cooking
6 x 150–180g ocean trout
25g anchovies, chopped
2 tbsp chopped parsley
60ml (1/4 cup) extra olive oil
Preparation
Prepare artichoke hearts by cutting off the stalk at the bottom of the vegetable, leaving 1–2cm for decoration. Cut off the top 5cm and discard. Rub all over with lemon juice. Cut in half, remove choke using a small sharp knife or small melon baller, rub again with lemon juice, and then place in acidulated water. When all artichokes have been prepared, thinly slice them lengthwise so each slice has some stalk attached. Return to acidulated water.Prepare cooking liquid by mixing together coriander seeds, wine, shallots, lemon juice, garlic, water, vinegar and season to taste. Drain artichoke slices well. Heat a heavy-based large frying pan over medium heat. Add a generous amount of olive oil and saute drained artichokes for 2–3 minutes. Once artichokes have softened slightly add cooking liquid, allow to come to the boil, and then reduce heat and cook at a gentle simmer for 5 minutes, stirring often. Keep warm until needed.
Prepare lemon butter sauce and set aside in a warm place.
Heat a large heavy-based frying pan, add a splash of olive oil and cook trout on each side for 3–4 minutes.
To serve, stir anchovies and half of the parsley through artichokes and spoon into centre of the plates. Place trout on top. Pour lemon butter sauce over and sprinkle with remaining parsley.
