Equipment
Fork
Ingredients
- 8 oz (227g) smoked trout filet
- ½ cup + 2 Tbsp (150ml) crème fraîche or sour cream
- 2 Tbsp fresh tarragon, finely chopped
- 2 Tbsp chives, thinly sliced, plus more for serving
- 1 medium lemon, zested, plus ½ lemon juiced, about 2 Tbsp
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- For serving: sliced baguette, crostini, crackers, crudité, or endive leaves
Instructions
- Combine dip ingredients. Break the trout into small pieces (either by hand or with two forks), then place in a mixing bowl. Add ½ cup + 2 Tbsp crème fraîche, 2 Tbsp chopped fresh tarragon, 2 Tbsp sliced chives, 2 tsp lemon zest, 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice, and ½ tsp black pepper. Use a fork to mash the mixture together until thoroughly mixed.
- Optional: refrigerate, then serve! The smoked trout dip can be enjoyed immediately, but the flavors will intensify as it sits. Store covered in a refrigerator (I let it sit for ~2 hours) for up to 4 days. Just before serving I like to garnish with additional sliced chives and lemon zest. Serve with sliced baguette, crudité, or in endive leaves!
Notes
- Nutrition facts assume 4 servings and are for the trout dip only. They do not include baguette, crudité, crackers, etc.
- Make-ahead: Prepare the dip according to the recipe, then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- While possible to freeze, I don't recommend it. The texture of the dip will alter during freezing and thawing. If you do end up freezing it, be sure to use it within 2 months.
