This trout fillet, seared to perfection, is coated in a sweet and fragrant lacquer, combining maple syrup and lemon, evoking the fish-filled rivers of Quebec.
The atoka remoulade, studded with vibrant cranberries, celebrates the bounty of the forests and recalls Indigenous traditions. Each bite is a dance between land and water, a tribute to fishing.

Ingrédients / Ingredients
-
450g (1 fillet) trout or salmon with skin
-
3 tbsp Tomahawk Blend
-
250 ml maple syrup
-
2 lemons
-
1 bunch curly parsley, chopped
-
1 celeriac
-
3 tbsp mayonnaise
-
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
-
10 frozen cranberries (thawed and roughly chopped)
Instructions/ Directions
Coat the trout fillet with Tomahawk Blend using about half of the mixture (1.5 tbsp). Let rest for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, mix 200ml maple syrup, the juice and zest of one lemon, and 1.5 tbsp Tomahawk Blend.
Over medium heat, reduce by one-third until the texture thickens (be careful not to turn the lacquer into overly thick caramel).
Remove from heat, then add a pinch of chopped parsley. Set aside.
CELERIAC REMOULADE WITH ATOKAS
Peel the celeriac and grate it using a mandoline (or a cheese grater) into a bowl.
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, the remaining maple syrup (50ml), the juice of one lemon, the rest of the Tomahawk Blend (1.5 tbsp), a generous handful of chopped parsley, and the cranberries.
Mix well, then let rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
COOKING THE FISH
In a non-stick pan, heat 1 tbsp salted butter over medium heat until it foams.
Sear the trout fillet flesh-side down for about 2 minutes, then flip to the skin side.
Reduce the heat to low for about 1 minute, then spoon the maple lacquer over the flesh (reserve 2 tbsp). Flip the fish flesh-side down again and cook for about 1 more minute.
When the trout fillet is cooked, plate the remoulade and place the trout fillet on top. Drizzle with the reserved lacquer.
Serve. Enjoy!
