Smoked Trout Linguine With Asparagus and Lime image

They make the most amazing smoked trout here in Costa Rica and I've been looking for ways to use it other than as an appetizer. This is my take on a smoked salmon pasta dish I had once-upon-a-time! Note: this would probably be better with lemon, but they're almost impossible to find here. Let me know if it's an improvement!
