Ingredients

  1. 2 smoked trout fillets (about 200g each)
  2. 250g cream cheese, softened
  3. 100g Greek yogurt
  4. 1 tablespoon horseradish
  5. 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  6. 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  7. 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
  8. Salt and pepper to taste
  9. 8 slices of white bread (preferably thick-cut)
  10. Olive oil or butter for toasting
  11. 1 small gherkin, finely chopped (for garnish)
  12. 1 small red onion, finely chopped (for garnish)
  13. Extra dill sprigs (for garnish)
  14. Lemon zest (for garnish)

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 160°C/140°C fan-forced.
  2. Remove and discard skin and bones from the fillets. Using a fork, flake into small pieces.
  3. Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese, yoghurt, horseradish, and lemon juice on low speed until the mixture is smooth and combined. Fold in the flaked fillets, dill, and chives. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
  4. Meanwhile, place bread, in batches, in a toaster and toast until golden. Using a serrated knife, remove the crust from each slice. Carefully cut through the center of each slice horizontally to form 2 thin slices. Cut each slice into 4 triangles, making a total of 32
    triangles. Place triangles, untoasted-side up, on a large baking tray. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden and crisp. Set aside to cool.
  5. Sprinkle dip with gherkin and onion. Top with dill sprigs and lemon zest. Serve with Melba toasts.

Chef's Tip

The best smoked trout dip keeps a balance between richness and freshness. Premium smoked trout already carries deep flavour, so ingredients like lemon, dill, and horseradish should lift the seafood rather than overpower it. Chilling the dip before serving allows the flavours to settle beautifully, while crisp Melba toast adds the perfect light crunch against the creamy texture.
