Fresh caught lake trout which is always great. Grilled/smoked the trout. The cucumber/tomato relish was awesome. I’ll skip the yogurt sauce. It was only ok. Smoking the trout was wonderful.
This simple relish and yogurt dressing worked so well with grilled trout. I didn't even have mint and the relish was still delicious. (It probably helped that I used cucumbers and tomatoes from a farrmer's market). I would put a little less toasted cumin and coriander the next time because they were a little overpowering.
