Line a bamboo steamer with baking paper and steam the trout over a saucepan of gently simmering water for 5-6 mins, or until the flesh flakes when touched with a fork. Remove from the steamer, flake the flesh apart with a fork, removing any bones, and set aside.

2 Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions. Strain using a colander, reserving a little of the cooking water in the saucepan.

3 Return the pasta to the saucepan and quickly stir through the egg yolks, lemon zest and juice, then add a generous pinch of sea salt and pepper. Gently stir through the flaked trout and capers and add the olive oil.

4 To serve, mix the rocket, chives, goat’s cheese and extra olive oil, if desired, through the pasta and pop a wedge of lemon on the side. It’s delicious served with a simple green salad.
