Smoked Trout, Sour Cream, & Pickled Onion Crostini

This crostini is dynamite and works just as well with any smoked fish.  Easy to put together for that impromptu party and a crowd pleaser.

1/4 C. thinly sliced red onions
1 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
1 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 C. hot water
12 slices pumpernickel
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. lemon zest
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/2 C. sour cream or creme fraiche
12 oz. smoked trout

Garnish: Dill sprigs

In a bowl combine onions, vinegar, sugar, salt, and hot water.  Let onions pickle for 30 minutes.  

Drizzle bread with oil and grill to golden brown.  Remove and cut each slice into quarters, reserve.  In a separate bowl, combine zest, cracked pepper, and sour cream.  Spoon cream mixture onto toasts.  Top each with about 1 oz. of fish and a few slices of the drained pickled onions.  Garnish with dill and Enjoy!
