Step 3: Preparing the vegetables for maximum flavor and freshness

- Take out the apple, carrots, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, and peppers that were kept fresh in the fridge with Twin Cooling Plus™ technology.
- Slice all vegetables—2 carrots, 4 red cherry tomatoes, 4 yellow cherry tomatoes, ½ zucchini, 1 yellow pepper, 1 red pepper, and 1 onion—very thinly. The apple should be cut into long & thin strips.

Step 4: Cooking the vegetables just right

- While the rainbow trout is being cooked on the Samsung Chef Collection Induction Hob, add the vegetables and the apple in the same pan.
- On one side of the pan, keep cooking the trout, and on the other side, cook the vegetables lightly in the remaining oil so they remain crunchy and fresh.
- On the right, place a smaller pan on the Samsung Chef Collection Induction Hob, and add any remaining vegetables you may have. The flexibility of the induction makes simultaneous stove top cooking easy.

Step 5: Making the perfect vinaigrette dressing

- To a small sauce pan, add the mustard, worcestershire sauce, and sherry vinegar.
- Add a pinch of fine salt and white pepper.
- Use a spoon to combine all the ingredients completely.
- Using the same spoon, carefully drop the vinaigrette next to the fish.
