What they have in common
Almost everything sea trout carries, olive has too: 24 of sea trout's 24 flavor molecules also occur in olive. Among the shared key aromas is ethanol (alcoholic, ethereal). Most of what they share is background chemistry many foods carry, so the overlap does little for the smell. Shared chemistry is a reason to try a pair, not a promise that it works on the plate.
