Perfect for any gathering from baby showers to parties- this Smoked Trout board is the perfect companion that all your guest will love as they mix and match different variations.
What You Need For This Delicious Smoked Trout Board
- Smoked Trout Filets: Thinly sliced filets are the best in my opinion.
- Creamy Horseradish: You can also use fresh horseradish but I love creamy for the spreadability of it.
- Fresh dill
- Fresh lemon juice wedges
- Baguette, Crostini or Rustic Bread: You can slice your own baguette or buy pre-sliced crostini. If you’re in a rush most stores now carry pre-toasted crostini as well. But I personally love making my own.
- Red Onion: Thinly sliced works best
- Potato Chips : I like basic potato chips like Lays Original.
- Hard Boiled Eggs– You can do them as soft-boiled or hard-boiled / sliced works but you can also do crumbles.
- Spicy Mustard
- Cucumber- I like them sliced for this.
- Radishes : Thinly sliced works best
- Capers
