This week's Big Little Recipe is a humble sauce-meets-spread inspired by both tonnato (Italian tuna sauce) and whitefish salad (the offering by which Emma judges all bagel shops). All you need are three ingredients: smoked whitefish or trout (the former is butterier, the latter leaner), mayonnaise (store-bought works great), and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Adjust the last two ingredients to taste: For a creamier, smoother, milder spread, increase the mayonnaise. For something looser and zingier, add more lemon. Doubt you’ll need salt, since the smoked fish is so salty, but let us know what you think in the comments.
