For walnut and coriander salsa, preheat oven to 180C.
Place walnuts on an oven tray and roast until deep golden (5-10 minutes).
Cool, then rub off excess skins, finely chop and transfer to a bowl.
Add remaining ingredients to walnuts and season to taste with freshly ground black pepper.
Refrigerate until required.

Reduce oven to 110C.
Place trout, skin-side down, on a baking paper-lined oven tray, brush with oil, season to taste with sea salt and roast until medium rare (30-35 minutes).

Carefully transfer trout to a plate, spoon salsa over and serve immediately with lemon wedges to the side.
