Smoked Rainbow Trout Salad

This Smoked Rainbow Trout Salad is creamy, bright, a little fancy, and comes together in minutes with pantry staples.
Servings 2

Ingredients

  • 1 tin smoked rainbow trout drained
  • 1 hard-boiled egg chopped
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon garlic aioli mustard or Dijon if that’s what you have
  • 1 tablespoon capers drained
  • 1 tablespoon finely diced red onion
  • 1 tablespoon chopped pickled peppers
  • Pinch of salt
  • Black pepper
  • Dried parsley or herb blend
  • Red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 or 2 brown rice cakes for serving

Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix the smoked trout, chopped egg, mayo, and garlic aioli mustard until gently combined.
  • Stir in the red onion, capers, and pickled peppers. Taste and adjust—more pickled peppers for brightness, more mayo for creaminess.
  • Add salt, black pepper, and dried herbs. A pinch of chili flakes takes it over the top.
  • Spoon the trout salad onto a brown rice cake. Top with extra pickled peppers and a sprinkle of seasoning.
  • Serve immediately
