Smoked Trout Pâté

The only change I make to this recipe is using oil from the trout fillets in place of olive oil – it seems to boost the trout flavor!  Looking for a way to use leftover roasted salmon?  Just substitute it for the trout and you’re in business. -Jane

Smoked Trout Pâté  from Nigella Express by Nigella Lawson

Ingredients:

2 smoked trout fillets, about 4 ounces total

1/4 cup cream cheese

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 tablespoons olive oil (I prefer using oil from the trout fillets in place of olive oil – it seems to boost the trout flavor!)

1 tablespoon horseradish sauce

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions:

Put all of the above ingredients into a food processor and blitz until smooth and pâté-like. Serve with bread or your favorite cracker. I like to serve it with these rye crackers from Trader Joe’s.
