"The freshness and quality of the seafood from Queensland’s coast is unparalleled. My auntie used to make a similar smoked fish dip for every celebration. It’s her signature dish; whenever she served it, it always felt like a warm welcome home. The rich, creamy dip with the perfect balance of smokiness and freshness was a highlight of our family feasts." – Sarah Todd

200g piece fresh ocean trout, skinless, pin boned
200g hot smoked ocean trout, skin removed, flaked
250g cream cheese, at room temperature
100g sour cream
2 tbs mayonnaise
2 tbs finely grated lemon zest
1 tbs lemon juice
1 tbs Dijon mustard
1-2 tbs hot sauce, or to taste
1 tbs finely chopped dill
1 tbs finely chopped chives
Extra virgin olive oil, to drizzle
Sliced seasonal vegetables, to serve

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Grease a small baking tray and line with baking paper.
2.

Season fresh trout and place on prepared tray. Roast for 6-8 minutes, until cooked through and flesh flakes easily when tested with a fork. Set aside to cool to room temperature. Flake flesh of cooked trout and smoked trout into a large bowl.
3.

Place cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, zest, juice, mustard, sauce and herbs in a large bowl and beat with a wooden spoon until smooth and creamy. Add flaked fish and gently fold to combine. Season, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavours to develop.
4.

To serve, spoon dip onto a serving bowl on a platter. Serve with an assortment of sliced vegetables for dipping.

Recipe Notes

For a smoother dip, blend the trout with the dip base in a food processor. Garnish with more fresh dill or chives before serving for extra freshness and colour.
