Ingredients
- 200 grams smoked rainbow trout in a filet
- 25 grams arugula
- 1/4 red onion medium
- 1 tablespoon capers drained
- 2/3 cup sour cream light
- 1 tablespoon white horseradish
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 grated lemon zest
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 lemon for garnish
Instructions

- Slice red onion into half and then into thin slices
- Spread arugula on a large oval platter

- Place sour cream mixture into piping bag or squeeze bottle and apply in a criss-cross decorative pattern over the trout.

Notes
- Select a large whole filet of the best quality smoked fish you can afford.
- If the sauce is too thick to pipe easily, add one tablespoon of warm water or enough to achieve a consistency that makes it easy to create a decorative pattern yet keeps it firm enough to hold a shape.
- Other accompaniments to a fish platter can be halved cherry tomatoes, sprigs of fresh chives or parsley, salmon mousse, raw oysters or smoked salmon.
