Trout and Noodles with Poppy Seed and Lemon

Finding ways to use yet more poppy seeds, we tried out this idea, which we found on the internet - only adding quite a bit more poppy seeds than the original recipe called for.

Ingredients:
- 250 g (1/2 lb) wide egg noodles
- 2 tbsp poppy seeds
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- zest of 1 lemon, freshly grated
- 1 bunch chives, cut
- trout filets
- lettuce
- tomatoes

The noodles were boiled in lightly salted water till tender.
While the noodles were boiling, the poppy seeds were toasted lightly, the chives were rinsed, and the lemon zest was grated. When ready, the drained noodles were stirred with poppy seeds, lemon zest, chives, and butter.

Served with pan fried filets of trout and a very quick salad of lettuce and tomato slices.
