A café-style bowl with crispy roasted potatoes, flaky smoked trout, creamy hummus and fresh cucumber salad finished with dill and lemon.

Ingredients

Crispy Potatoes

3–4 medium potatoes, cubed
1½ tbsp olive oil
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste

Bowl Components

120–150 g smoked trout, flaked
3–4 tbsp hummus
½ cucumber, thinly sliced
Small handful fresh dill, chopped
½ lemon
Olive oil
Black pepper

Optional Toppings

Chili flakes
Capers
Pickled onions

Method

Roast the Potatoes

Preheat the oven to 220°C.
Toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, salt and black pepper.
Spread them evenly on a baking tray in a single layer.
Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until deep golden and crispy.
Tip: Frozen potatoes work well for convenience. Cook them from frozen in an air fryer at 200°C for about 20 minutes until crisp.

Make the Quick Cucumber Salad

Slice the cucumber into thin half-moons or ribbons.
In a small bowl toss the cucumber with a squeeze of lemon juice, a pinch of salt, a drizzle of olive oil and chopped dill.
Allow the salad to sit while the potatoes finish roasting so the flavours can develop.

Prepare the Trout

Once thawed, gently break the smoked trout into large flakes.
Avoid shredding it too finely so the pieces stay tender and more substantial.

Assemble the Bowl

Spread hummus onto the base of a serving bowl.
Add the hot crispy potatoes on top.
Scatter the smoked trout flakes over the warm potatoes so the heat gently warms the fish.
Add the cucumber salad to the side of the bowl.

Finish and Serve

Top with extra fresh dill, a squeeze of lemon or a little lemon zest, a drizzle of olive oil and freshly cracked black pepper.
Add optional toppings like chili flakes, capers or pickled onions if desired.
Serve immediately.

Recipe Note

Roasting potatoes at high heat helps achieve a crisp golden exterior.
Allowing the cucumber salad to sit for a few minutes enhances its flavour.
Larger flakes of smoked trout give the dish a more elegant texture.
Frozen potatoes can be used for convenience and crisp easily in the air fryer.
This bowl works well with additional greens like rocket or baby spinach.
