Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine flaked smoked steelhead trout, mashed potatoes, egg, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Croquettes

    Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties or croquettes, about the size of a golf ball. Roll each croquette in flour, then dip in beaten egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Fry the Croquettes

    In a deep pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the croquettes in batches until golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the croquettes warm, topped with a dollop of creme fraiche, a spoonful of trout roe, and garnished with chopped pickled leeks and fresh dill.
