Ingredients for Maxime Ardin 's trout confit
- 2 boneless trout fillets, 150 g each
- 1 bunch ground ivy
- 2 shallots
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 glass dry white wine
- 1 tbsp. trout roe
- 150 g butter
- 1 slice day-old bread
- ½ l grapeseed oil
- 500 g coarse salt
- Fine salt
Steps for Maxime Ardin 's trout confit
- Prepare the trout: place the fillets in a dish and cover with coarse salt, leave to rest for 20 min. Rinse thoroughly and cut the fillets in half to make 4 portions.
- Prepare the sauce: finely chop the shallots and sweat them in a saucepan with a knob of butter and salt. Deglaze the shallots with the white vinegar and white wine, and reduce by a third. Add the butter, cut into small cubes, and blend with a hand blender.
- Prepare the croutons: cut the bread into small pieces and brown in butter. Gently heat the grapeseed oil to around 65°C and immerse the trout fillets in the oil for 5 min. As soon as the skin peels off, they're done.
- Finishing and garnishing: at the last moment, add chopped ground ivy and trout roe to the sauce. Arrange the trout with the croutons and a few ivy leaves.
