Smoked Trout Salad

A couple of weeks ago, we had one of those beautiful late fall weekends with 70 degree weather.  Knowing that this might be the last warm weekend, I had to take advantage of the smoker.  You saw in a recent post that I made a Smoked Eggplant Dip.  The real thing I wanted to make was a smoked fish salad.  I went to the store and picked what looked like the freshest fish that would be good for smoking.  Hence, we end up with a Smoked Trout Salad.

When smoking fish, the key is to not over-smoke the fish.  All you need is 60 – 90 minutes with a light smoke.  I like to use mostly alder wood and compliment it with another wood, and in this case, some mesquite.  As you have come to know, I lightened up the recipe with fat-free Greek yogurt.  I really like the Fage brand.  It is the thickest of the Greek yogurts. The recipe for this Smoked Trout Salad blends cream cheese and the yogurt.  That gets a desirable texture without all the fat.
