Preparing the trout for each individual "papillote"

  2. place the trout fillet on top;
  3. cover with several spears of asparagus, a shallot, some fiddleheads and a baby bok choy;
  4. drizzle with olive oil;
  5. place in a preheated 375° F oven for 8 to 10 minutes or on the barbecue.

Making the preserved zest (step 1, while the fish is cooking)

  1. Using a zester, remove the peel from a lemon;
  2. place in a small saucepan; add equal quantities of sugar and salt (use about ½ tsp. of each for the zest of one lemon);
  3. cook over low heat for a few minutes until the zest has absorbed the sugar and salt.

Preparing the Emulsion (step 2, while the fish is cooking)

  1. In a small saucepan, melt the butter with a drizzle of olive oil;
  2. add a pinch of salt, a little ginger and 1 tsp. of the preserved lemon zest;
  3. heat for a few seconds to create a natural emulsion.

Presentation

  1. Place each papillote into a deep plate and bring to the table;
  2. pour the emulsion into a sauce boat and bring to the table;
  3. open the papillotes, spooning the emulsion on as desired;
  4. if you wish to serve a more substantial meal, add a few small new potatoes - they are delicious sprinkled with the emulsion.
