Smoked Trout With Malt Vinegar Salad Stuffed Creamer Recipes

SMOKED TROUT SALAD WITH MEYER LEMON DRESSING

Steps:

• Toss the endive, shallots, and radishes in a large bowl. Toss with half of the dressing and season with salt and pepper. Divide the mixture among 4 plates and arrange the beets around the plate. Tear the trout fillets into bite-sized pieces and place on each salad. Top each with 1 tablespoon of the trout roe and serve.
• Whisk together lemon juice, vinegar, mayonnaise, mustards and salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in the oil until emulsified and stir in the tarragon.
• Combine water, salt, and sugar in a large container and mix until the salt is completely dissolved. Add the fish, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Soak wood chips in water for at least 1 hour. Remove trout, rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Use a covered grill (charcoal, gas or electric) and preheat to about 200 degrees F. Cover
• heated coals with 1/3 of the hickory chips. Place fish, skin side down, on well-greased grill, about 4 inches from coals. Close grill hood and open vent to circulate smoke. Add additional hickory chips, as necessary. Smoke trout for approximately 20 minutes. Trout is done when the cut surface is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork.

SMOKED TROUT WITH MALT VINEGAR SALAD STUFFED CREAMER

Steps:

• Preheat the fryer to 350 degrees F.
• Prepare the smoker, using wood chips, so that it maintains a temperature of 150 to 160 degrees F. Place the trout fillets onto the smoking racks skin-side down, separating them by at least 1/4 inch and put into the smoker. Adjust the heat as needed and cook until the fish is opaque, has darkened in color and has the desired level of smoke flavor, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the skin and bones, flake into large pieces, and place in a bowl.
• Cut the bottoms off of the creamers so they will sit flat, and scoop out the center flesh of each one.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, dill, horseradish and onions in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Pour some of the dressing over the trout, gently mixing to combine. Add more horseradish and mustard, to taste.
• Fry the potatoes in batches until they are golden and crispy, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain on a paper-towel-lined sheet tray and season with salt. Stuff the potatoes with the trout salad, and garnish with dill sprigs and trout roe.

SMOKED TROUT AND POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Soak the onion slices in a bowl of ice water. Cover the potatoes with water in a pot; add a pinch of salt, cover and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly; pat dry.
• Meanwhile, whisk the creme fraeche, vinegar, olive oil and mustard in a large bowl to make a smooth dressing. Stir in the dill. Drain the onion, pat dry and add to the dressing. Add the potatoes and cucumber, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
• Divide the watercress among 4 plates and add some potato salad to each. Flake the trout with your fingers and scatter on top. Serve with pumpernickel bread and/or pickled beets, if desired.

SMOKED TROUT SALAD

Steps:

• Pile the salad leaves on 2 plates and divide the potatoes, radishes and beetroot between them. Flake over the smoked trout.
• Mix the horseradish and crème fraîche with enough milk to make a runny dressing. Season and drizzle over the salad.
