1 large bulb fennel, cut into 8 wedges, fronds reserved
1 tbsp olive oil
265g pack 2 trout fillets
1 tbsp Cooks' Ingredients Chermoula Paste
300g pack Freekeh, Black Rice & Chickpeas
¼ x 20g pack dill, stalks finely chopped, fronds roughly chopped
1 unwaxed lemon, finely sliced
1 tbsp nonpareille capers

Heat the air fryer to 200ºC. Coat the fennel in half of the oil, season, then put in the base of the air fryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes, then turn and cook for another 5 minutes until starting to colour.
Meanwhile, pat the fish dry with kitchen paper and put on a plate. Season, then coat the fish in the chermoula paste. Set aside.
Once the fennel has cooked for 15 minutes, stir through the freekeh mixture and dill stalks. Sit the trout fillets on the freekeh, then arrange the lemon slices on top and scatter over the capers. Put back in the air fryer for 10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through, opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Serve with the dill fronds and any fennel fronds scattered over.
