2.Meanwhile, cook eggs in a saucepan of boiling water until medium-boiled (6 minutes). Refresh in a bowl of iced water, peel and set aside.
3.For lemon dressing, whisk olive oil and lemon juice in a bowl to combine, then stir in herbs and season to taste.
4.Add trout, rocket and onion to nuts. Halve eggs, coarsely chop four halves and add to salad. Add half the dressing and gently toss to combine, then transfer to serving plates. Add an egg half to each serving, top with roe, drizzle around extra dressing, sprinkle with a little sumac and serve.
