Preparation

Step 1
Heat the honey in a small pot over medium-high heat for about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in lemon juice. Pour into a bowl and set aside.
Step 2
Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, thinly slice kumquats into rings. Remove any seeds. In a small pot, combine the sugar, vinegar and ¾ cup of water. Bring to a boil over high heat and add the kumquats. Reduce heat to low and stew for 5 minutes. Cool in the liquid until ready to use.
Step 3
Add the garlic to the honey-lemon mixture and whisk in the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine the radishes, pine nuts, frisée and trout, broken into bite-size pieces. Dress with the vinaigrette and add parsley, salt and pepper to taste. Divide the salad between 4 dishes, top each plate with an equal amount of candied kumquats and drizzle with a little of the candying liquid.
