Method

Heat 14g of butter and sauté shallots, garlic, thyme, bay leaf, and peppercorns for 3 minutes until soft.

Add white wine and vinegar, boil until mostly evaporated, then whisk in chilled butter cubes until glossy.

Strain sauce through a sieve, season with salt and lemon juice, and keep warm.

Heat a frying pan and season flour with salt and pepper.

Dredge trout fillets skin-side down in flour and dip the floured side in sunflower oil.

Fry trout floured-side down for 4 minutes until skin is crisp and golden.

Turn trout over and fry for 1 more minute until cooked through.

Boil samphire for 3 minutes, drain, then toss with butter, lemon juice, and pepper.

Plate samphire, top with trout, and finish with beurre blanc sauce.
