Appetizers and cold buffets are making a comeback with the beautiful season... Here are some spreads that will perfectly top toasts and slices of bread... More and more, I try to work with farmed trout so as not to contribute, in my modest way, to the overfishing of wild salmon... A pure delight!

Boil water, add coarse salt, thyme, bay leaf, a small chili, the juice of half a lemon, a few peppercorns, and half an onion. Place the trout fillet in the pot for 10 minutes while turning off the heat. Drain, remove the skin, and let it cool slightly. Remove the bones, then finely mash the flesh with a fork, incorporating the butter.
