To make the dressing, put the olive oil and blanched basil leaves into a blender and process until the basil leaves have completely broken down. Strain the oil through fine muslin into a serving jug.
In a bowl, combine the diced cucumber, ocean trout, chives and mint. Divide into four equal portions. Spoon each portion of trout tartare over a serving plate, season with sea-salt and freshly ground black pepper and using a microplane grate a little fresh lemon zest over each plate. Scatter with micro herbs, spoon small spoonfuls of the roe around the outside and drizzle with the basil oil.
TO SERVE
Slice the lemon in half and squeeze a little lemon over the tartare just before serving. Serve with crispbread.
