“This salad is a great base for any seafood – seared southern calamari, sashimi-grade trevally, tuna or kingfish,” says Hugh Wennerbom. “We’ve used smoked rainbow trout not only because it’s delicious, but because it has a good shelf life and can be bought well ahead of the crazy Christmas crush at the fish markets.”
