Ocean Trout Tartare with Citrus Dressing

We served a version of this bright, citrusy ocean trout tartare on our first ever retreat, paired with beetroot puree and dehydrated olives. This recipe is a little more 'make at home' friendly but no less delicious. With absolutely no cooking required it's super simple but very impressive, and an absolute favourite. Get the freshest wild caught ocean trout you can lay your fingers on.
