Ingredients
For the Smoked Trout Fritters
- 3/4 cup whole grain cornmeal finely ground
- 1/4 red onion finely diced (plus extra for salad garnish)
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/3 cup buttermilk (the real thing is as thick as yogurt!)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup corn kernels no need to defrost, or fresh, frozen
- 8 ounces smoked trout fillet skin removed and roughly chopped
- olive oil for cooking
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
For the Buttermilk Dill Dressing + Salad
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon dill fresh
- 1 clove garlic minced
- spinach or lettuce, for serving
Instructions
For the Smoked Trout Fritters
- In a large bowl whisk together the cornmeal, red onion, and baking powder. Make a well (hole) in the center and pour in the buttermilk and egg.
- Stir the batter with a fork until well combined. Carefully fold in the corn and the trout.
- Heat a thin layer of olive oil over medium heat in a large cast iron skillet. Drop in equal sized spoonfuls of batter (I used an ice cream scoop and got 8 fritters) and flatten with a spatula. Cook in batches until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. (See notes about cooking temperature.)
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside.
For the Buttermilk Dill Dressing
- Blend together the sour cream, buttermilk, lemon juice, dill, and garlic until smooth.
- Add lettuce or spinach to large bowls, top with the fritters, dressing, additional diced red onion, salt & pepper, and serve.
Notes
- If your pan is too hot they will get brown on the outside before they are cooked all the way through the middle, so be sure to cut one open to check your temperature setting! We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.
