Smoked Trout Cucumber Open Sandwiches Recipes

SMOKED TROUT SALAD, CUCUMBER AND ROASTED PEPPER SANDWICH

Steps:

• Drain the trout. Place the fillets in a bowl or in the bowl of a mini-food processor, and flake them. Mix in the yogurt and 1 teaspoon of the mayonnaise. It should have the consistency of tuna salad. Stir in the chopped celery and dill.
• Lightly toast the English muffins. Spread a little mayonnaise on both halves. Spread half the trout mixture over the muffin bottoms. Top with cucumber slices, and douse with a little lemon juice. Layer half the roasted pepper over the cucumber slices. Place the other halves of the English muffins on top, press down, slice in half if desired and serve. Alternately, you may wrap the sandwiches in plastic, refrigerate and serve later.

SMOKED TROUT AND CUCUMBER

Steps:

• Cut English cucumbers into 1/4-inch-thick slices, then use them as cool, crunchy bases for rich, buttery flaked smoked trout. Sprinkle them with cracked black pepper and serve with a dry martini -- gin is a top-notch match for these flavors.
