Ingredients
-
150g unsalted butter, chilled

1 small onion, finely chopped
-
2 bacon rashers, rind removed, roughly chopped
-
75g soft white breadcrumbs
-
2 tablespoons roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley
-
1 teaspoon chopped lemon thyme leaves
-
100g roasted unsalted macadamia nuts
-
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
-
1 small egg, beaten
-
8 skinless trout fillets (ask your fishmonger to prepare them)
-
1 cup (250ml) white wine
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
-
Pan-wilted spinach, to serve
Method
-
Step 1Melt 30g of the butter in a frypan over medium heat, add the onion and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes or until softened but not coloured. Add the bacon and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
-
Step 2Place the breadcrumbs, herbs and macadamias in a food processor and process until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Add the onion mixture, lemon rind and egg, and process until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Step 3Spread top of each fillet with some stuffing, then roll up to enclose. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
-
Step 4Preheat the oven to 180°C.
-
Step 5Lightly grease a baking dish. Remove plastic wrap from the fish and place seam-side down in the dish. Pour the wine over top, then season with salt and pepper. Cover with foil and bake for 15-18 minutes or until cooked through.
-
Step 6Strain the cooking juices into a saucepan and bring to the boil over high heat. Cook until reduced to about 1/2 cup (125ml) of liquid. Chop the remaining butter.
-
Step 7Add butter to liquid, one piece at a time, whisking constantly, until all the butter is incorporated and the sauce thickens. Add the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
-
Step 8To serve, place wilted spinach on each plate, top with a stuffed trout fillet and drizzle with sauce.
