This smoky trout bowl is packed with flavours and textures and comes together quick. The trout is cooked with a smoky spice rub and then served in a bowl with quinoa, crunchy edamame beans, creamy avo and vinegary pickles. It’s finished off with a zingy gremolata sauce that adds a burst of freshness.
You can use salmon instead of trout and the gremolata is something you can double up and save the rest for later (it’ll last up to 5 days in the fridge).
