This simple Smoked Trout recipe calls for curing the freshwater fish first to enhance its natural flavor. Then you’ll smoke it with no additional seasonings that could overpower the mild fish. Serve it on grilled bread with sour cream, fresh dill, capers and minced onions.Closely related to salmon, trout has a delicate nutty flavor and can be white, pink or orange. Look for fish with moist flesh, a fresh, mild aroma, shiny skin and clear eyes.
