  1. Bring a saucepan of water to the boil and prepare a steamer by lining with wet baking paper and then placing a
    coral trout fillet on top of the baking paper (salmon can also be used as well).
  2. Once the water comes to the boil, add
    125g buckwheat pasta and place the steamer insert on top with fish.
  3. Once fish is cooked and flakes apart, remove and flake the fillet then set aside.
  4. Once the pasta is cooked, drain and rinse with warm water.
  5. Return pasta to the saucepan and add
    2 egg yolks,
    1/4 lemon, zest and juice,
    pinch of celtic sea salt and cracked black pepper.

Notes
As I have mentioned in previous posts, Love Beets produce pre-cooked and pre-peeled beetroots with no preservatives or added nasties - a great time saver! They are available at most IGAs in the fresh vegetable section.
