*Preparation Method: Raw and Cured*

**Servings:** 4 people

## Ingredients

- 1 lb exceptionally fresh Rainbow Trout fillet (skinless and pin-boned)
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp finely chopped chives
- 1 tbsp minced shallot

## Instructions

1. Ensure your [trout](https://news.freshaig.com/tag/trout/) is impeccably fresh and kept ice-cold right up until preparation. Using a very sharp knife, finely dice the trout fillet into uniform 1/4-inch cubes.
2. In a chilled glass mixing bowl, gently fold the diced trout with the pure maple syrup, kosher salt, and black pepper, taking care not to mash the fish while ensuring it is evenly coated.
3. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for exactly 30 minutes. This brief resting period allows the maple-cure to lightly firm the flesh and infuse the trout with a subtle, earthy sweetness.
4. Remove the bowl from the refrigerator. If any excess liquid has pooled at the bottom, gently drain it. Carefully stir in the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, chopped chives, and minced shallot until just combined.
5. Serve immediately to maintain optimal freshness and texture. For an elegant presentation, use a ring mold to shape the tartare into neat cylindrical portions on chilled plates. Accompany with toasted crostini, lightly salted crackers, or crisp cucumber slices for a refreshing crunch.
