Smoked Trout Canapés
Ingredients
- 160 g Smoked Trout (hot smoked)
- 1 tbsp Capers
- 20 g Gherkins
- 0.25 Red Onion
- 1 tbsp Parsley (flat leaf, chopped)
- 1 Lemon (zest only)
- 50 g Cream Cheese
- 30 g Yoghurt (Greek)
- Pepper
- 1 Cucumber (cut into slices – to serve as the canapé bases)
Instructions
- Remove the skin from the smoked trout and flake it into a mixing bowl.
- Finely chop the capers, gherkins, red onion and parsley, adding to the mixing bowl along with the lemon zest, cream cheese, Greek yoghurt and black pepper.
- Mix everything together well and pop a teaspoonful on top of each cucumber slice. Garnish with a little extra parsley, if you like.
Notes
- This trout mix also makes a delicious pate to serve with crackers or toast.
- You can swap the smoked trout for smoked mackerel or hot smoked salmon.
- Dairy-free – switch the yoghurt and cream cheese to soft nut cheese and nut yoghurt such as almond or cashew.
- Store the trout mix in an air-tight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. It can also be frozen; just give it a good stir once it has defrosted.
