For this sandwich I use canned smoked trout — it’s packed in oil and not dry, so it lends itself to a mixture like tuna salad. I flake it in my mini-processor, then mix it up with a little yogurt and mayonnaise.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Drain the trout. Place the fillets in a bowl or in the bowl of a mini-food processor, and flake them. Mix in the yogurt and 1 teaspoon of the mayonnaise. It should have the consistency of tuna salad. Stir in the chopped celery and dill.

  2. Step 2

    Lightly toast the English muffins. Spread a little mayonnaise on both halves. Spread half the trout mixture over the muffin bottoms. Top with cucumber slices, and douse with a little lemon juice. Layer half the roasted pepper over the cucumber slices. Place the other halves of the English muffins on top, press down, slice in half if desired and serve. Alternately, you may wrap the sandwiches in plastic, refrigerate and serve later.

Tip
  • Advance preparation: These sandwiches will keep well for a day. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and place in a bag. Keep cold if possible.

I added the brine from dill pickles (grillo’s of course!) to the fish - so good. I love it with fresh cucumber but it’s also divine with pickles & pickled red onion.

Cynthia

I omitted the roasted red pepper and added capers. Delicious!

I puree smoked trout or salmon regularly with coconut milk and/or (non-dairy) sour cream, always delicious. Chives work well too. Great appetizer or sandwich.

Anna Stambo

Fantastic! Followed recipe, each part adds depth!

We had a bag of smoked salmon that was starting to age out so we that and also no muffins but had corn tacos that was perfect with everything else. Ok, it wasn't a sandwich but close!
