Smoked Trout And Beet Salad With Pink Caviar Recipes

SMOKED TROUT AND BEET SALAD WITH PINK CAVIAR

Steps:

• Make the vinaigrette: Put shallots, mustard, lemon zest and vinegars in a small bowl and stir together. Season with salt and pepper. Leave for 5 minutes to macerate, then whisk in oil. Set aside.
• Prepare the salad: Scrub beets, then simmer in abundant salted water until tender when pierced with a skewer, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and cool slightly. When beets are still somewhat warm, rub off and discard skins. Trim any rough bits with a paring knife.
• Cut beets into half-moon slices, 1/4-inch thick, and place in a medium bowl. Add celery slices. Season with salt and pepper and dress with half the vinaigrette. Toss well with your hands to coat.
• Arrange salad leaves on individual plates, then distribute beet mixture. Break smoked trout fillets into rough 1-inch pieces and arrange over beets. Scatter a few radish slices over each salad. Add some chopped egg, if using. Sprinkle lightly with salt and drizzle with remaining vinaigrette.
• Top each salad with a generous teaspoon of trout roe and sprinkle with chives and dill sprigs.

BRYANT LAKE BOWL - SMOKED TROUT AND BEET SALAD WITH GREEN GODDESS DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Prepare the beets by cutting off the 2 ends and the greens. (The greens can be used in another recipe if you like...) Next, rub down the beets with olive oil and wrap them in tin foil. Place them in a shallow pan or dish and bake them for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until a knife slides in and out of the beets easily. When the beets are finished, rubbing the skins off with a towel can peel them. Julienne the beets.
• Prepare the trout by skinning and deboning it, and shredding it to the size you prefer. I like to shred it very finely, so that every bite of salad has a bite of trout. If you can find already deboned smoked trout, it will reduce your prep time significantly.
• Place the lettuce and spinach on a plate and build the other ingredients onto the salad, as you like. I like to run each ingredient down the side of the mountain of greens in sections and mix as I eat.
• Dress the salad with Green Goddess Dressing, and serve with a fresh baguette.
• Mix everything in a 2-quart bowl or larger.
• Can be stored in your refrigerator for up to 7 days.
• If you like your dressing greener, increase the herbs.
• If you like your dressing leaner, leave out buttermilk and add 1/2 cup yogurt to replace it. And if you like it meaner, up the herbs, the pepper (or use white pepper!), and the garlic!
