Smoked Troutcake With Apples And Horseradish With Creme Fraiche Horseradish Sauce

• Smoked Troutcake
• 3/4 cup smoked trout, flaked (any smoked white fish will actually work well here)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons scallions, thinly sliced, white and light green parts only
• 1/2 apple, peeled, cored and diced (Granny Smith or other tart apple works best)
• 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 teaspoons chives, minced
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 whisked whole egg (if you're weighing this, it's 1 oz)
• 1 ounce creme fraiche
• 1 1/2 teaspoons horseradish, grated
• 1/2 ounce breadcrumbs + more for dusting each side before sauteeing
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Creme Fraiche Horseradish Sauce
• 3 ounces creme fraiche
• 2 teaspoons horseradish, grated
• 1/8-1/4 teaspoons cayenne pepper, to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

1. In a medium bowl place the flaked smoked trout or other smoked fish and add the green onions, apple, lemon zest, chives and black pepper. Toss to mix well.
2. Mix the horseradish into the creme fraiche. Add the 1/2 egg and creme fraiche mixture to the trout mixture and mix well. Add the bread crumbs, mix well and form 2 patties for sauteeing. Dust with additional bread crumbs before sauteeing.
3. Heat 2 Tablespoons olive oil in a sautee pan over medium heat. Saute the patties roughly 2-3 minutes per side. Serve with Creme Fraiche Horseradish Sauce (below).
4. Whisk together all the ingredients except the apple cider vinegar. When all ingredients are well mixed, whisk in the apple cider vinegar. Serve with the Smoked Troutcakes.
