Fall Salad: Arugula, Fennel & Smoked Trout
This is a refreshing lunch or first course salad.
It is perfect for the fall weather and is very simple to put together.
This was the first time I tried smoked trout from a can. I usually buy it in a vacuum package and it is drier. It was a great way to use up the leftover trout from the tartines I made the other day.

I liked this version of smoked fish better, it was moister and did not have such an intense smoke flavor. It was farm raised from Portugal, a bit pricey, but I liked the delicate flavor. I could actually taste that it was a trout!
