Steps:
- Mix 3 tablespoons butter, the lemon zest, juice, shallots and 2 tablespoons chives until well combined. Place the butter onto a small piece of plastic wrap and, using both ends of the plastic wrap, spin it around to make a cylinder. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Using needle nose tweezers, remove all the bones from the trout. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter over moderate heat in a large nonstick skillet. Sprinkle the trout with salt and pepper. Place the fish skin-side down and cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes. Using a sharp paring knife, slide the knife into the thickest part of the fish. If you don't feel any resistance, your fish is done. Transfer the fish to serving plates, top with butter and garnish with the remaining chives.
- BYOC: The beauty of this butter is you can make it anything you want. Why not try limes and chiles, lemon and mint, rosemary, thyme and sage? Anything goes when you are in the kitchen.

Steps:
- Rinse the spinach well in cold water to make sure it's very clean. Spin it dry in a salad spinner, leaving just a little water clinging to the leaves.
- In a very large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and saute the garlic over medium heat for about 1 minute, but not until it's browned. Add all the spinach, the salt, and pepper to the pot, toss it with the garlic and oil, cover the pot, and cook it for 2 minutes. Uncover the pot, turn the heat on high, and cook the spinach for another minute, stirring with a wooden spoon, until all the spinach is wilted. Using a slotted spoon, lift the spinach to a serving bowl and top with the butter, a squeeze of lemon, and a sprinkling of sea or kosher salt. Serve hot.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375° F.
- Clean the trout and wash well, making sure to remove the line of blood from the inside near the backbone. Dry with paper towels and season inside and out with salt and freshly ground pepper. Put a lump of butter and a sprig of fennel into the center of each trout. Take a large sheet of aluminum foil and smear a little butter on the center. Put the trout onto the buttered bit and fold over the edges into a papillote shape. Seal well to ensure that none of the juices can escape. Repeat with the other trout. Put the two foil parcels on a baking sheet, making sure they are not touching. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the spinach-butter sauce. Remove any large stems from the spinach and wash well. Cook in 2 1/2 cups salted boiling water for 4-5 minutes or until just soft and tender. Drain, pressing out every last drop of water, then mince the spinach. Put the cream into a saucepan and simmer on low heat until reduced to about 3 tablespoons. Then, on a very low heat, whisk in the butter bit by bit as though you were making a hollandaise sauce. Stir in the spinach.
- When the fish is cooked, open the parcels and use some of the delicious juices to thin the sauce. Put the two parcels on a hot serving dish and bring to the table. Skin the fish and lift the juicy pink flesh onto hot plates. Spoon the spinach-butter sauce over the fish and eat immediately.
CARAMELISED ORANGE AND GINGER BUTTER TROUT
A flavouring for fish: Loch Etive Trout, Salmon or Sea Bass. This works best in my opinion with the large Loch Trout, rather than Rainbow Trout, but if using Rainbow - use the whole fish as you would with Sea Bass.

Steps:
- Grate the zest and squeeze the juice from 1 navel orange.
- Take about a 1 ½ inch square hunk of fresh root ginger and slice it thinly and then chop it fairly finely.
- Melt a teaspoon of the butter in a wok or pan.
- Then put the orange zest, juice, and the chopped ginger into the wok - or pan, with the melted butter.
- Turn the heat up, but watch and stir it carefully - so that it doesn't burn but the ginger cooks properly. About 3 to 5 minutes.
- At the last minute, when it all looks nicely cooked add about half a teaspoon of suger, and stir that in,
- Take off the heat as soon as the sugar has combined properly - i.e. no longer crunchy.
- Cool the result in a plastic container in the fridge.
- Then add about 2 to 3 tablespoons of cold butter, mix it well in and put it in the freezer to hurry the solidifying for no more than an hour, or leave overnight in the fridge if you have the time.
- Cut 2 large slits in a tail fillet of Loch Etive Trout, then stuff the butter into the slits in the fish. Sprinkle the fish with sea salt and freshly ground black or rainbow pepper. Rainbow peppercorns are a mixture of Black Peppercorns, White Peppercorns, Pimento, Green Peppercorns and Pink Peppercorns - and makes for a milder, almost fruity taste compared to Black Peppercorns alone. (A tail fillet of Salmon or a whole small Sea Bass can replace the Trout.).
- Cook the fish in foil in the oven at 200 degrees C for 25 to 30 minutes depending on your oven.
- This serves 1 person as a main meal, try it served with baby leeks and baby corn cobs microwaved in lemon flavoured olive oil with wild black onion seeds and cumin seeds and salt and pepper. And maybe some noodles.
- Or multiply the number of fish for each person and serve at a dinner party.
- This amount of the caramelised butter will fill 4 fish.

Tips:
- When choosing trout, opt for fresh, wild-caught fish for the best flavor and texture.
- If using frozen trout, thaw it properly in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for about 30 minutes before cooking.
- Use a large skillet or sauté pan to ensure the fish has enough space to cook evenly.
- Sear the trout skin-side down first to create a crispy texture and prevent the fish from sticking to the pan.
- Adjust the cooking time depending on the thickness of the trout fillet. A general rule is to cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices in the orange braising liquid to create a unique flavor profile.
- Serve the orange-braised trout immediately with sautéed spinach and your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
