Smoked trout main course?

Post by yooper_fisher » Sun Jan 30, 2011 11:59 pm

I've got a bunch of smoked trout in the freezer so I figured I'd ask around to see if anyone has any idea on main course recipes to use these guys in? I'm getting a little sick of eating it just on crackers or in chowder (I've eaten a ton of chowder the last couple months).

Thanks

Thaw and butterfly the trout Serve with fresh lemon wedges to squeeze over the fish. Dress the plate with slices of mango and kiwis. Simple and nice.

Top fettuccine, or linguine with broken pieces of smoked trout, top with a sauce of sour cream and heavy cream, sprinkle on a little dill. Serve with steamed asparagus.

I have chunked it up and thrown it into boxed meals before like Tuna helper or Fettuccine.

Another thing you can do is blend it up in a food processor, add cream cheese, sour cream, chives, and some hot sauce it makes an excellent sandwich spread. Just throw some lettuce and cheese on a slice of bread and lay down some spread. Yum!

Also, you could look up a recipe for salmon cakes/patties. You can make some pretty delicious ones out of smoked fish, its basically just egg, breadcrumbs, fish, and seasonings then sear it in a pan. They are tasty and can be eaten alone, or added to bread like a burger.

Take a bagel, I prefer Onion, slice and spread with Cream Cheese.

Take a piece of the smoked trout and lay it on top. Top with sliced onions, tomatoes, a little lettuce or better yet spinach, salt and pepper to taste, and enjoy.

That is one sandwich that people want!:compress:

Make yourself a large dinner salad and crumble the smoked fish over the top. I really like the Newman's Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing with this and serve with thick slices of hearty bread. Makes for a quick, light meal that doesn't require the use of a stove or oven, unless of course you get some brown and serve French bread or Focaccia. We also do this with crab and shrimp, or a combination thereof.

G-man, that sounds perfect for the girlfriend. She doesn't care for smoked fish too much but I think she'd like that one too.

Tonight I boiled up some pasta and put in some broccoli, green/red pepper, onion, garlic, mushroom, dill, and alfredo sauce and served that and it was amazing. The girlfriend even liked it, but with less trout than I put in mine.

Thanks again guys, this will help me out a lot (especially in trying to convince a certain someone to allow me to get a chest freezer)
