Smoked Trout Pasta with Cherry Tomatoes and Asparagus

Updated: May 3, 2020

I love smoked trout! We love fishing in the fresh clean waters of Montana. Smoking our trout after a successful outing is one of our favorite things to do. I think there's a misconception that you can only use your smoked trout for an appetizer. That's simply not true. This dish is delicious! Such a fresh, flavorful way to utilize some of your smoked fish. I hope you love it as much as I do.
