Creamy Nordic Smoked Trout & Pea Pasta (37g Protein)

Published: 8/17/2026

Smoked trout offers a deeper, more intense flavor than salmon. This 20-minute protein meal is a modern Scandinavian kitchen staple.

Ingredients (4 servings)

• 8 oz (225 g) smoked trout, flaked
• 8 oz (225 g) protein fusilli
• 1 cup (150 g) frozen peas
• 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
• 1 tbsp (6 g) lemon zest

Instructions

1. Boil the pasta; add the peas during the final 2 minutes.
2. Warm the cream and lemon zest in a pan.
3. Toss the pasta and peas in the cream. Fold in the flaked trout off the heat.

Pro Tips

• Add the Trout Off the Heat: Fold in the smoked trout only after removing the pan from the heat. This preserves the delicate texture of the fish and prevents it from becoming tough.
