Categories Food Processor Cocktail Party Quick & Easy Yogurt Mayonnaise Trout Gourmet

Yield Makes about 36 canapés

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1/2 pound smoked trout fillets (available at specialty foods shops and some fish markets), picked over and flaked
1/2 cup plain yogurt, drained in a fine sieve for 1 hour
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill plus dill sprigs for garnish
1 tablespoon minced onion, patted dry
12 slices of pumpernickel bread, each slice cut decoratively into 2-inch shapes

Steps:

In a food processor purée the trout, the yogurt, the mayonnaise, the lemon juice, the minced dill, the onion, and salt and pepper to taste until the mixture is smooth. The trout mixture may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. On each piece of bread spread a scant teaspoon of the mixture, mounding it, and garnish each canapés with a dill sprig.

Tips:

Choose the right ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for smoked trout that is firm and has a mild, smoky flavor. Use a good quality cream cheese and fresh herbs.
Prepare the smoked trout: If the smoked trout is too salty, soak it in milk for 30 minutes before using. This will help to remove some of the saltiness.
Make the canapés ahead of time: The canapés can be made up to 2 hours ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. This makes them a great option for parties or gatherings.
Garnish the canapés: Before serving, garnish the canapés with fresh herbs, lemon zest, or a sprinkle of paprika. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
