Smoked Trout Toasts

Smoky trout, fresh seared challah, and an outside layer of nutty sesame seeds meet up in this firm, craveable bite.

These fresh broiled toasts from Evan Blossom of Savvy Children Jewish Store in San Francisco are spread with a brilliantly rich smoked trout salad and covered in a liberal layer of sesame seeds. They are flavorfully pungent and crunchy when hot out of the skillet. 

The sweet challah cuts fry to an ideal brilliant brown, while a completing crush of lemon juice adds a hint of splendor to these overpowering starters. Hot-smoked trout filets are accessible at most supermarkets or at specialty fish markets.
