Q: I’m looking for an appetizer to start Christmas dinner. Any suggestions?
A: With its smoky flavor and creamy texture, Smoked Trout Mousse would make an elegant, yet casual start to a decadent holiday meal. And it wouldn’t be the holidays without a glass of bubbly, so pair it with your favorite sparkler.
