The avocado and trout salad part of this recipe has been adapted from a recipe in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Chez-Panisse-Vegetables-Alice-Waters/dp/0060171472">Chez Panisse Vegetables</a href>. When mounded onto thick slices of toast, it becomes a meal. I have been buying Trader Joe's smoked trout for years and using it in simpler preparations (olive oil, lemon, crackers), but this is a better use of it yet—the smokiness of the trout permeates the salad, and the whole combination tastes fresh and bright, just the ticket this time of year. I haven't tried using canned salmon or tuna, but I imagine those would be good substitutes if you can't find smoked trout. <br /> <br />Re Trader Joe's smoked trout: I use two of their 3.9 oz tins for this recipe.
