Tips and Variations
- Swap trout for salmon or cod for a different source of lean protein.
- Try adding quinoa or wild rice for extra fibre and a bit more texture.
- Mix in some avocado or cherry tomatoes for more colour and healthy fats.
- Swap lime for lemon for a sharper citrus kick.
- Grill the trout instead of pan-frying for a smoky flavour.
- For a vegetarian version, just use grilled halloumi or tofu instead of fish.
- Serve it warm for dinner, or chill it for a light summer lunch.
- This is perfect for meal prep. Just store portions in containers for quick, healthy lunches.
Meal Storage
Keep any leftover trout and rice in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days. The salad is best stored undressed and fresh. Add the dressing just before serving so it stays crisp. Reheat the trout and rice gently in the microwave or in a pan with a splash of water.
