Step 1.
Preheat oven to 240˚C. Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. In two batches, add onions and cook until golden on each side (2 minutes). Place in a large roasting tray. Repeat with remaining onions. Drizzle onions with 60ml Sherry; season to taste.
Step 2.
Using a small sharp knife, score skin of trout ½cm deep in a diamond pattern. Brush with oil; season to taste. Place fish on top of onions and roast until flesh is just tender next to the bone and skin is golden and crisp (35-40 minutes). Set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
Step 3.
Meanwhile, to make saffron butter sauce, melt butter in a small saucepan over high heat, until foamy (2 minutes). Add garlic, saffron, fish stock, remaining Sherry, sugar and bay leaf and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium and cook until reduced by half (3-4 minutes). Add vinegar, season to taste and remove from heat.
Step 4.
To serve, spoon onions onto a serving platter. Top with fish and spoon over sauce. Serve topped with chives and nasturtium leaves.
Enjoy!
