Salad of smoked trout with horseradish crème fraîche

About

Piquant horseradish offsets smoked trout in this simple salad from Geoffrey Smeddle. This is a flavoursome smoked trout recipe that would work wonderfully as a tasty seafood starter or a light lunch, and as the recipe was originally developed for the Sunday Herald, is also easy to prepare at home.
