How do I make it?
Cut potatoes into even-sized pieces and bring to the boil in a large saucepan. Cook until tender, adding the asparagus in the final minute of cooking. Remove from heat, drain, and set aside to cool slightly.
Meanwhile, heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle olive oil over trout fillets and season with salt. Add fillets to the pan, and cook for 2 minutes, then flip and cook for a further 2 minutes or until cooked to your liking. Remove from heat and set aside.
Whisk the lemon juice, olive oil, mustard and chillies in a bowl and season to taste.
Add potatoes, asparagus, salad leaves, chopped herbs and radishes to a large bowl and pour over three-quarters of the dressing. Arrange salad onto a serving platter and break trout into chunks over the salad. Scatter with chopped spring onion and drizzle with remaining dressing when ready to serve.
