Cannabis-Infused “Emerald Smoked Trout & Avocado Tartare with Crisp Rye”

Smoked trout is deeply rooted in Irish coastal cuisine, prized for its delicate texture and clean, briny flavor. This modern tartare layers finely diced smoked trout with ripe avocado and fresh herbs for a naturally emerald presentation. Served with crisp rye shards for crunch, the dish is elegant yet approachable. The cannabis infusion is incorporated into a bright citrus-dill oil, ensuring precise dosing while preserving the freshness of the raw components.
