1. 1

   For the trout en papillote, spread a large sheet of greaseproof paper onto a baking tray. Dot all over with some of the butter.

   Place one trout onto the greaseproof paper, then stuff the cavity with a quarter of the herbs and lemon slices.

3. 3

   Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then sprinkle over a quarter of the watercress leaves.

   Bring the edges of the greaseproof paper together and fold to form a sealed parcel. (You may need to wrap the parcel in aluminium foil to hold it closed.)

   Transfer the parcels to a baking tray and bake in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.

   Meanwhile, for the salad, place the flaked smoked trout, watercress leaves, walnuts and chopped pears into a bowl and mix well to combine.

10. 10

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, rapeseed oil and honey until well combined.

11. 11

    For the mustard and horseradish cream, in a separate bowl, mix together the mustard, horseradish cream and crème fraîche until well combined.

    To serve, unwrap the trout parcels and place one portion of steamed trout and watercress into the centre of each of four serving plates.
