Note

Storage: This salad is best served immediately. Do not dress the spinach until ready to serve to prevent wilting.

Substitutions: If lake trout is unavailable, other fatty fish fillets such as salmon or sea bass work well. You can substitute chutney with a vinaigrette if preferred.

Tip: Ensure your broiler is fully preheated before adding the fish to ensure it cooks properly in the short time frame.
