Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces smoked trout fillets
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cups sour cream
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons chives, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Begin by flaking the smoked trout fillets into small pieces, removing any skin or bones if present. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend until smooth and creamy.
Add the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the cream cheese mixture. Mix well to incorporate all the flavors.
Gently fold the flaked smoked trout into the mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overly break apart the trout to maintain some texture.
Stir in the chopped dill and chives until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning with additional salt, black pepper, or lemon juice if desired.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with extra dill or a sprinkle of smoked paprika for a decorative touch.
Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Serve cold with your choice of crackers, toasted bread, or fresh vegetables.
