Method
Gather all ingredients and ensure the trout fillet is very fresh; keep it chilled until ready to use.
Finely dice the trout fillet into small, uniform cubes.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Trout is cut into small, even cubes.
Mince the shallot, drain the capers, chop the dill, and finely dice the cucumber.
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced trout, minced shallot, drained capers, chopped dill, and diced cucumber.
Add the olive oil and lemon juice to the bowl.
Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Gently toss all ingredients together until evenly coated, being careful not to over‑mix and break down the fish.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Fish and vegetables are lightly coated without breaking down the trout. Toss gently to keep the fish cubes intact.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 5–10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Chilling helps the lemon and herbs meld through the mixture.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.
Serve the tartare chilled on small plates or atop toasted baguette slices, garnished with a sprig of dill or a thin lemon wedge.
