Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

You're making delicate crêpes infused with dill and topping them with lightly marinated trout that's been cured in lemon juice for three hours – the trickiest part is getting the timing right since the fish needs a good chill before you even start on the crêpes. The actual cooking moves quickly once everything's prepped, and you'll end up with an elegant appetizer that looks more impressive than it is to make.

Fry the crêpes
