Galantine of Rainbow Trout with French Bean Salad

Although this is not one of the easiest starters to make, it is certainly very effective. It can be made the day before, but its flavour and texture will be so much better if it is stored in a cool, dry place instead of the refrigerator. Serve with a small salad of lettuce hearts tossed in the dressing. This would also be an ideal dish for a buffet, in which case brush each slice with a little fish aspic.
