It’s important to use a good quality wine for the sauce like a Margaret River chardonnay.
Ingredients
- 1 x 1.5 kg rainbow trout (or 4 plate-sized trout)
Sauce
- 150 ml tarragon vinegar
- 150 ml white wine
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 bunch French tarragon, leaves picked
- Pinch caper salt, optional
Instructions
Place a cake rack inside a roasting pan and bring to the boil over high heat. Place the fish on the rack, cover with another tray or foil and steam the fish for 10-20 minutes depending on size.
Meanwhile, to make the sauce, place all the ingredients into a small heavy-based saucepan and bring to the boil. Simmer for 3-5 minutes and set aside.
To serve, place the fish on a platter and gently peel off the skin from the top side of the fish. Pour the hot sauce over the fish and serve immediately.
