Method
Trim the radishes and thinly slice them. Finely chop the chives. Cut half the lemon into wedges and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 200°C / fan 180°C / gas mark 6. Place the kale on one side of a lined baking tray and the hazelnuts on the other side. Drizzle the kale with 1 tsp oil and season with a pinch of sea salt.
Add the trout fillets to the same baking tray. Bake in the oven for 5–8 minutes, or until the trout is hot (internal temperature should reach 63°C / 145°F when checked with a thermometer) and the kale is crisp.
Heat a medium frying pan with 1 tsp oil over medium-high heat. Add the quinoa and break it up with a wooden spoon. Add a splash of water and cook for 2–3 minutes, until piping hot.
Transfer the quinoa to a mixing bowl. Add the zest from the lemon and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Serve the kale topped with the quinoa, sliced radishes and chives. Flake the trout over the top. Squeeze the juice from half the lemon over the dish (or serve on the side). Garnish with the hazelnuts and remaining chives, and serve with the lemon wedges.
