    Cured fish is regularly available in supermarkets but much cheaper to make at home (and makes a great activity!). If you like salmon, you’ll love Steelhead Trout, known for its firmer texture and slightly sweet, more delicate taste. This zesty and refreshing cured trout recipe makes a perfect addition to starters or a dinner party showstopper.
    *Allow 48 hours for trout to cure in the refrigerator.
