Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Like most hot-smoked fish, smoked trout can be really good, especially if you buy direct from a good smokehouse or supplier. If you fish for trout yourself you should consider investing in one of those handy little smokers that camping, fishing and even some kitchen shops now sell.

2 x 400-500g smoked trout, skinned and boned
2 medium-sized heads of chicory or Belgium endive, trimmed and leaves separated
60-70g watercress
2-3 spring onions, trimmed and chopped
for the dressing
1tsp freshly grated horseradish
1tsp Dijon mustard
1tbsp cider vinegar
Juice of 1 lemon
2tbsp olive oil
2tbsp vegetable or corn oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
If you're taking this on a picnic bring the ingredients separately; a salad is always better tossed with the dressing and served at the last minute. Make the dressing by whisking all the ingredients together or by shaking them in a bottle. To serve, flake the trout into large chunks into a bowl with the chicory and watercress, season and toss together.
