SMOKED TROUT CANAPES

Categories Food Processor Cocktail Party Quick & Easy Yogurt Mayonnaise Trout Gourmet

Yield Makes about 36 canapés

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1/2 pound smoked trout fillets (available at specialty foods shops and some fish markets), picked over and flaked
1/2 cup plain yogurt, drained in a fine sieve for 1 hour
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill plus dill sprigs for garnish
1 tablespoon minced onion, patted dry
12 slices of pumpernickel bread, each slice cut decoratively into 2-inch shapes

Steps:

In a food processor purée the trout, the yogurt, the mayonnaise, the lemon juice, the minced dill, the onion, and salt and pepper to taste until the mixture is smooth. The trout mixture may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. On each piece of bread spread a scant teaspoon of the mixture, mounding it, and garnish each canapés with a dill sprig.

Tips:

Choose the freshest trout possible. Fresh trout will have a firm texture and a mild, sweet flavor. Avoid trout that is slimy or has a strong fishy smell.
Use a light hand when smoking the trout. Over-smoking will make the trout dry and tough. Smoke the trout for just a few hours, or until it is cooked through and has a delicate smoky flavor.
Flake the trout into small pieces before assembling the canapés. This will make it easier to spread the trout on the crackers or bread.
Use a variety of toppings for the canapés. Some popular options include cream cheese, horseradish sauce, capers, and red onion. You can also get creative and try different combinations of toppings.
Serve the canapés immediately. Smoked trout canapés are best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make them ahead of time, store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Conclusion:

Smoked trout canapés are a delicious and elegant appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. With a little creativity, you can create a variety of canapés that will impress your guests. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give smoked trout canapés a try. You won't be disappointed!
