smoked trout stack
Ingredients
8 oz freshly smoked trout, flaked and checked for bones
3 scallions, finely chopped (white and light green parts)
1 tsp fresh dill, finely chopped
1 T mayo
1 T lemon juice
Arugula leaves (about 30)
Wonton Crackers (see below)
Directions
Place flaked trout in a medium bowl. Toss trout with scallion and dill. Combine lemon juice and mayonnaise in a smaller bowl. Drizzle mayonnaise mixture over trout. Lightly combine.
Place in an airtight container and refrigerate.
Place a small-flaked mound on top an arugula leaf on a wonton cracker. It should look like a little haystack.
Makes 24
Wonton Crackers
Ingredients
1 pkg Wonton Wrappers
Melted Butter
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Brush melted butter onto a sturdy cookie sheet with a pastry brush.
Cut desired amount of wonton wrappers into quarters (each wrapper will yield four square “crackers”)
Place cut wonton squares in a single layer not touching on the buttered cookie sheet. Brush tops with melted butter.
Bake until just crisp and barely brown about 5 minutes (watch carefully so they do not get to dark- you might want to rotate the cookie sheet halfway through)
Unused wonton wrappers can be store in the refrigerator in a Ziploc bag for future use.
