11 pairings for Trucha marina.

classic

Fat with no sour of its own. Add the acid or it goes flat halfway.

common

Warm butter is the sauce. Anything reduced kills the delicacy.

common

Grows in the same brackish water. Salt and snap, no seasoning.

common

The estuary version of the gravlax pairing, minus the cure.

common

Shared cut-stem aldehydes, and it drops the temperature.

uncommon

Sharp green with body, so the sauce does not need cream.

uncommon

Sour fat beside oily fat: the acid stops it going cloying.

rare

Both peak the same fortnight. Terpenes over estuary fat.

rare

The Elizabethan sauce for oily fish, and still the right answer.

rare

Both faintly iodine and cream. Poach them in the same butter.

wild

Orange oil and hard acid: hollandaise with no egg in it.
