Why It Works
The richness of the cream cheese balances the trout's delicate smokiness, while lemon and herbs highlight the juniper and lemon thyme already present in the conserva. Crispy capers add a salty crunch that makes every bite more interesting.
Lata Tip: Make it ahead of time and chill for 30 minutes before serving;the flavors become even brighter and more balanced.
