Ingredients
- 400 g New Potatoes 14oz (I use Jersey Royals when in season)
- 100 g Samphire 1 Cup
- 300 g Clams A couple of dozen
- 2 Sea Trout Fillets 350-375g Total
- ¼-½ teaspoon Salt plus extra to boil the potatoes
- 35 g Butter 2 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon
- 50 ml Dry White Wine 3 tablespoon + 2 teaspoon
- 1 tablespoon Cooking Oil
Instructions
- Bring a 20cm or 8" saucepan of water to a boil, and season it generously with salt (1 teaspoon for a pan this size).
- Cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces, toss them into boiling salted water and cook them for 15-20 minutes or until they are tender. Then drain and set aside.
- Pick through the clams, discarding any that are damaged or any open clams that do not close when they are tapped on your work surface.
- When you have drained the potatoes, place two frying pans on the hob/stovetop, make sure you use a nonstick pan for the fish. Heat the fish pan over a high heat and the pan for the clams over a medium-high heat.
- Season the fish with salt.
- Add the cooking oil to the nonstick pan for the fish and cook it skin side down for 3 minutes, and leave it alone.
- Immediately add the butter to the second pan and toss in the butter, followed by the potatoes and cook them until the fish is ready to flip.
- Just before you flip the fish, add the clams and white wine to the pan with the potatoes, and add a lid.
- After 3 minutes, flip the fish and cook for a final 2-3 minutes.
- Once the clams have all opened, remove the lid and toss in the samphire, cooking it for a minute, then serve.
