The Incredibly Versatile Smoked Trout Spread You Need

Smoked trout spread with crackers

This smoked trout spread recipe is really easy, delicious, can be made in advance, and works well as a starter and as a brunch item. As a passed hors d'oeuvre served on grilled bread or crostini, this is an elegant starter. As a dip with other appetizers and served with crackers, pita/ bagel chips, or bread it is wonderful. And if you are hosting a brunch which is begging for whitefish salad --a NY Brunch mainstay, this is the go-to substitute (some folks literally can't tell the difference between this and whitefish salad!).

If you are planning to serve this with other appetizers, I'd recommend checking the room-temperature consistency as you may want to add extra sauce to make it more dippable than spreadable. Up to you. (In the picture above, I am serving it with my home-made sourdough crackers -- recipe here.)

So, without further ado, here's the recipe, which I hope you'll try and enjoy as much as we do!
