  • 8 shallots , thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh tarragon
  • 3 tbsp 35% cream
  • 2 tbsp dry vermouth
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 3 skinless, boneless trout fillets , about 300-g each
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Add shallots to same pan and cook, stirring occasionally until soft, 5 to 6 min. Stir in tarragon, cream, vermouth, Dijon and 1/4 tsp salt. Cook for 2 more min then remove from heat.
  • Pat fish dry with paper towels. Cut each fillet in half lengthwise. Flip fish so the side that had skin on it faces up. Spread a layer of shallot mixture over each piece of fish. Divide asparagus and lay across widest end of each. Roll tightly towards the tail end and fasten with a toothpick. Lay each roll on prepared sheet and brush tops with 1 tbsp oil. Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt.
  • Bake in centre of oven until a knife tip inserted into thickest part of fish and held for 10 sec comes out warm, 15 to 20 min.
  • Toss arugula with vinegar, remaining oil and remaining salt. Season with pepper. Divide among plates and top with trout.
