We made this to celebrate our newfound love of all things Kiwi (thanks especially to Outrageous Fortune and Flight of the Conchords). I bought smoked trout and it took a good while to skin and debone but the effort was worth it. I didn't see an amount listed for the curry powder, so I added 1/2 tsp. I oversalted the white sauce slightly as there's a lot of salt in the smoked fish. Microwaved 4 sweet potatoes for 12 minutes, poking and flipping. Skipped the bread crumbs and forgot the paprika (will remember next time). Used Trader Joe's Unexpected Cheddar which was DELICIOUS with it. It's an aged cheddar with parm. It cooks at 350 F. I think next time I'd half the smoked trout and add chunked cod or salmon. I wonder if using all milk would still work and cut saturated fat slightly? Thanks for the keeper!

I work for a commercial kitchen company as a chef trainer. I do alot of inhouse Demonstrations, so am always on the hunt for new ideas in the kitchen. I have 3 adult children. My husband and I are enjoying having the house to ourselves at last! We have a small boat so go fishing and diving quite a bit. I love to entertain freinds and family. The Jack Russell terrier is filling the wee hole that the kids have left upon leaving home, however they didn't move far so still keep us rather busy.
