Smoked Trout & Wasabi Afternoon Tea Sandwiches

The inspiration for this sandwich came from a course I recently completed at Algonquin College in, ‘Tea Pairing & Menu Design.’ The smoked trout is a lovely and tasty alternative to smoked salmon that is typically served at Afternoon Tea. The wasabi and Dijon mustard paste adds a zing to contrast the smokiness of the fish.

Yields:  4 finger Afternoon Tea Sandwiches

Tea Pairing: Darjeeling (2^nd flush)

What you Need:

2 slices of Smoked trout

2 slices of Dark rye bread

1.5 tbsp. Cream cheese

1/3 cup of Arugula

1 tsp. Maille Dijon Mustard

1 tsp. Wasabi paste

How to Make it Happen:

1. Combine Dijon mustard and wasabi in a separate container until they are well blended.  

2. On one side of the dark rye bread, spread a thin layer of cream cheese and place two slices of smoked trout on top.

3. Spread the wasabi and Dijon mustard paste on the second slice of bread and top with arugula as desired. Cut into four equal vertical pieces to create ‘finger sandwiches’ for Afternoon Tea.
