Ingredients

  • 5 ounces smoked, boneless trout fillets, checked for bones and crumbled
  • 6 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 4 teaspoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
  • 2 teaspoons capers, drained
  • 1 teaspoon hot prepared horseradish, or more to taste
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper

Directions

Step 1
Place crumbled trout and softened cream cheese in a bowl. Add lemon juice, dill, chives, capers, horseradish, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper. Mix together with a fork until mixture achieves the chunkiness or creaminess you prefer. Transfer to a ramekin; wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 2 or 3 hours before serving to let flavors develop.

Cook’s Notes:

The ideal amount of salt, acidity, and heat are very subjective. Equal proportions of cream cheese and smoked trout is a good starting point, but everything else should be added "to taste."
