Method

4 steps
  1. Step 1

    Using a food processor, blitz the rye bread to coarse crumbs. Melt the butter in a pan over low heat and gently fry the breadcrumbs until evenly golden and crisp. Leave to cool.

    Stir 2 tsp wasabi paste into the crème fraîche with the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Taste and add more wasabi for a stronger kick, if liked. Chill until ready to serve.

  3. Step 3

    Arrange the smoked trout on a serving platter and scatter over the beetroot. Dollop over the wasabi crème fraîche, then scatter with the breadcrumbs

  4. Step 4

    Pick over the dill sprigs, then drizzle over the rapeseed or olive oil. Finish with a few good grinds of black pepper and lemon wedges for squeezing over, if liked.
