Trout with Horseradish

Season the sea trout fillets all over with salt and freshly ground black pepper
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat
Add the trout, skin-side down, and fry without moving the fish for 4-5 minutes, or until the skin is crisp and golden-brown
Turn off the heat, then turn over the trout fillets and allow the undersides of the fillets to cook through on the residual heat
Blanch the peas and carrot in a pan of boiling salted water for 1-2 minutes, or until just tender. Drain well, refresh in cold water, then drain again
Blanch the bacon lardons for one minute in a separate pan of boiling water, then drain well.
Heat one tablespoon of the butter cubes in a large saucepan over a high heat. When butter is foaming, add the blanched bacon lardons and fry until golden brown
Add the carrots and peas to the pan with the bacon lardons,. Pour over the chicken stock and bring the mixture to the boil
Reduce the heat to a simmer and simmer the mixture for 4-5 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Add the butter cubes, a few at a time, to the mixture, shaking the pan regularly until the butter melts and the sauce has thickened slightly before adding the next few cubes.
Add the shredded lettuce leaves and horseradish cream and stir well, then remove the pan from the heat.
