SMOKED TROUT & CUCUMBER SANDWICH

By

  • 2

Ingredients

  • Use canned smoked trout packed in oil at Trader Joe’s. It’s very nice fish, extremely moist. I also recommend smoked trout that’s packaged like smoked salmon (which you also can substitute for the trout, if it’s not available).
  • 1/4 cup thickened yogurt or low-fat (2 percent) Greek-style yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 1 whole wheat or whole wheat sesame hamburger bun
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced cucumber, preferably a seedless variety like Persian cucumber
  • 2 ounces smoked trout (the contents of one 3.7-ounce can) *
  • * Smoked salmon may be substituted if smoked trout is unavailable

Preparation

Step 1

Mix together the yogurt, dill, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.

Spread half the mixture over the bottom half of the hamburger bun.

Top with half the cucumbers, overlapping the cucumber slices slightly.

Top the cucumbers with the smoked trout, and sprinkle the trout with some pepper.

Layer the remaining cucumbers over the trout.

Spread the top bun with the remaining yogurt dill mixture, and place it over the cucumbers. Press down, and wrap the sandwich tightly in plastic wrap.

If possible, allow to sit for 10 to 15 minutes, or for several hours in the refrigerator, before eating.

Advance preparation: This will keep for a day in the refrigerator.
