Smoked Trout Croquettes

These smoked trout croquettes are a sophisticated and flavourful take on a classic savoury snack. Combining flakey smoked fish with fluffy mashed potatoes, sharp horseradish, and a hint of melted mozzarella, they offer a wonderful depth of flavour and a satisfying crunch. The panko breadcrumb coating ensures a light, golden exterior that contrasts beautifully with the rich, creamy centre. This high-protein dish is an excellent way to elevate the humble potato into something truly special for guests.

Perfect as a stylish dinner party starter or a substantial canapé, these croquettes can be prepared up to two days in advance, making them an ideal choice for stress-free hosting. The addition of fresh chives and a squeeze of bright lemon juice balances the richness of the trout perfectly. Serve them piping hot alongside a crisp green salad or a simple tartare sauce for a delicious light lunch or evening appetiser.

Ingredients for Smoked Trout Croquettes

  • 6 medium russet potatoes (about 1.1kg total), peeled, quartered

  • Koshersalt

  • 60g (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces

  • 30g Parmesan, finely grated (about 1/4 cup)

  • 1/4 cup chopped chives

  • 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish

  • 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

  • 4 large eggs, lightly beaten, divided

  • 230g smoked trout, skin and any large pin bones removed, shredded

  • 60g low-moisture mozzarella, coarsely grated (about 60g )

  • 220g panko (japanska ströbröd)

  • Canola or vegetable oil (for frying

  • about 1450ml )

  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Cover potatoes with cold salted water in a large pot. Bring to a boil over medium, covered, then reduce heat as needed to maintain a simmer until potatoes are tender, 20–30 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.

Mash warm potatoes with butter, then stir in Parmesan, chives, horseradish, pepper, 2 beaten eggs, and 1/2 teaspoons salt until smooth. Fold in trout and mozzarella. Form potato mixture into about 60 round croquettes (about 2 tablespoons each).

Place remaining 2 beaten eggs in a shallow bowl. Place panko in another shallow bowl. Dip 1 croquette into egg, letting excess drip off, then roll in panko to coat. Transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining croquettes.

Pour oil into a large pot to a depth of 4". Heat over medium-high until it sizzles when you toss in a pinch of panko or a deep-fry thermometer registers 350°. Working in batches, fry croquettes, turning occasionally, until golden brown, 4–5 minutes per batch. Transfer to paper towels to drain; season with salt. Serve immediately with lemon wedges alongside.

Do Ahead: Croquettes can be formed and coated 2 days ahead. Cover and chill on baking sheet.
