Smoked trout salad
I got a packet of smoked trout trimmings - a lot cheaper than buying neatly packaged fillets, but exactly the same part of the fish, and you can use them in any recipes that involve flaking or chopping up the fish (quite a lot of them…). Look also for smoked salmon recipes; they’re pretty similar in flavour and texture. (And the same cardinal rule as smoked salmon: be very careful not to overcook it.)
I already made part of it into a Sunday brunch with scrambled eggs on toast. Yummy.
This smoked trout and potato salad is pretty simple. (I don’t have any horseradish, but I think it’ll be OK without…). Or a variation on the same theme.
Alternatively, I could get some creme fraiche and make a creamy pasta sauce, probably throw in courgette and red pepper and stir in the flaked trout at the last minute. (If I’m feeling enthusiastic, I could add eggs and make carbonara. But I probably won’t be.)
