Ingredients

  • 2 x 350g whole smoked rainbow trouts
  • 3/4 cup crème fraîche
  • 1/3 cup whole-egg mayonnaise
  • 1 small garlic clove, crushed
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill leaves, plus extra sprigs to serve
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 baguettes, sliced
  • Lemon wedges, to serve
  • Pickled dill cucumbers, to serve

Steps

  1. Remove the skin from the trout and discard it. Carefully remove the flesh, discarding any fine bones. Place trout flesh in a large bowl and gently flake into large pieces.
  2. Add crème fraîche, mayonnaise, garlic, dill, and lemon juice to the trout. Gently fold to combine, adjusting lemon juice if needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Divide the mixture evenly among eight 1/2-cup jars. Smooth the surface of each and cover with lids or plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours to set and develop flavors.
  4. Preheat the grill to high. Place half of the baguette slices on a baking tray and grill for 1-2 minutes per side, or until toasted. Repeat with the remaining baguette slices.
  5. Top each pot with extra dill sprigs. Serve with the toasted baguette slices, lemon wedges, and pickled dill cucumbers.
