Ingredients
- 2 pieces smoked trout fillets
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (non-fat)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 teaspoon horseradish
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon hot sauce
Directions
Step 1
Begin by flaking the smoked trout fillets into a mixing bowl, removing any skin and bones. You want the pieces to be small enough to blend well with the other ingredients but not too fine to remove texture.
Step 2
Add the Greek yogurt to the bowl. Greek yogurt provides a creamy base while keeping the dip lower in fat, enhancing its heart-healthy profile.
Step 3
Chop the fresh dill finely and slice the green onions thinly. Add these aromatic ingredients to the mixture for a burst of freshness.
Step 4
Stir in the lemon juice, capers, horseradish, black pepper, garlic powder, and a dash of hot sauce. The lemon juice and capers add an acidic balance and the horseradish and hot sauce bring a subtle heat.
Step 5
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until they are well combined. The mixture should be creamy with visible flecks of fish, dill, and green onion.
Step 6
Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more lemon juice for tang, or a bit more pepper for spice.
Step 7
Transfer the dip to a serving dish, garnishing with a few extra sprigs of dill or a wedge of lemon if desired.
Step 8
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This dip can be made a day ahead, which will enhance its flavor even more.
Step 9
Serve with whole grain crackers, cucumbers, or celery sticks for a healthy appetizer or snack option.
