Smoked Trout Fillet Salad with Hash Browns

Wash the tomatoes, dry them, quarter them and peel the seeds out (do not dispose of, can be used for tomato sauce). First cut the pulp into strips and then into small cubes. Peel the onion and dice it. Wash the cucumber and cut into small cubes without peeling. If dill is not frozen, chop finely.

Mix the sour cream, mayonnaise and dill in a bowl and season with salt, pepper and sugar to taste. Only roughly pull the trout fillets apart. Then fold in the tomato, onion and cucumber cubes and then the trout fillets. Let the salad steep until the hash browns are ready.

Peel and roughly grate the potatoes. Pour into a sieve, drain gently for about 10 minutes and squeeze out a little. The mass should be moist, but not dripping wet. Then season with salt and pepper.

In a pan, heat 1 tbsp clarified butter per rösti and fry it slowly on both sides and not over full heat until crispy. This can take 10 minutes. Since 4 pieces fit into a large pan and 2 pieces are required per person, you have to bake the 8 pieces in 2 stages, i.e. it is advisable to preheat the oven to 80 ° and keep the first portion warm in it until the second . is done.

Then it can be served and enjoyed ....... 😉

I got the idea to prepare this salad as an alternative to a matjes salad, because a good friend is not allowed to eat sea fish for health reasons. The next time I can "cook" her, she shouldn't have to go without it.
