Smoked Trout Salad with Escarole and Persimmons

This everyday lettuce salad is given a gourmet make-over with the addition of smoked rainbow trout, cherry radishes and persimmons. I’ve paired it with a creamy, tangy mustard vinaigrette that really brings out the best flavour of the smoked fish which will also be great with curly endivie or with butter lettuce or peppery arugula. If you like, add some jammy boiled eggs or boiled potatoes to the salad if want it a little heartier and more substantial.

Mustard VinaigretteSalad
  • 3/4 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp Red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 120 ml Extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 250 g Smoked trout, skin and bones removed
  • 1 Ripe yet firm persimmon, peeled and cut into wedges
  • 150 g Escarole (or curly endivie), torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 8-10 Cherry radishes, halved
  • Dill sprigs
  • Lemon wedge
  1. In a small bowl, whisk Dijon mustard, vinegar and lemon juice together. Slowly add in olive oil in a steady stream, whisking constantly until all the oil is added and dressing is creamy and emulsified. Season with the salt and pepper.
  2. Pile the escarole salad leaves on two plates and divide the persimmon wedges and cherry radishes between them. Flake over the smoked trout. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and garnish with the dill and lemon wedge.

  13. What a treat! I love smoked salmon. That you've paired it with something naturally sweet, like persimmons, sounds really interesting. I think I'd love the soft boiled egg option.

  21. Our local butcher used to sell a delicious smoked trout but I haven't seen it for a couple of years. I would love to find some and make this delicious salad Happy 2022 Angie! A great dish to start the year with.

  22. I haven't used Escarole lettuce before, so I shall be checking that one out when I next shop, although I might swap it out for Arugula lettuce, which I love for its flavour.

    Whilst I like trout fillets, I might also be tempted to swap those out for salmon, or lightly smoked salmon fillets, which we both like.

    A great start to a healthy January. A Very Happy New Year to you and yours and Stay Safe :)

  25. From Argentina I wish you have a very good year 2022 and that we continue to share everything that enriches us: knowledge, travel, mutual experiences
    In the Patagonia of southern Argentina there are very good trout to fish and in hatcheries
