For the salad

A bunch of radishes, sliced finely
½ head of celery, sliced finely

Step by step

  1. Make the horseradish cream dressing by mixing everything in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
  2. Toss the salad leaves in a little extra virgin olive oil and divide between four dishes. Slice the beetroot then scatter over the beetroot, radishes, celery and spring onions. Finally, top each with a trout fillet and a generous dollop of dressing. Serve immediately.
