Quick And Simple Steelhead Trout Recipes

PAN-SEARED STEELHEAD TROUT WITH LEMON THYME BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• To cook trout, pat dry fillets thoroughly with paper towel. Salt and pepper on all sides.
• In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Once the oil is sizzling, add the fillets skin-side down. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook for about 5 minutes.
• Then flip each fillet and continue to cook until cooked through, about 2 minutes.
• Remove onto a clean plate skin-side up and loosely cover with a foil, while prepare the sauce. (Don't cover the fillets tightly, or the crispy skin will get soggy.)
• To make the sauce, add lemon juice, thyme and salt in a medium skillet.
• Bring it to a boil over medium heat and cook until it until reduced in half.
• Remove thyme sprigs, reduce the heat to low and add the butter 1 tablespoon at a time. Swirl the pan to slowly melt the butter before adding the remaining butter. (Note: The trick is to slowly melt the butter to get the silky sauce, instead of melted butter. You can pick up the skillet, hovering it over the heat and swirling it to melt the butter.)
• Serve the trout with side of rice, or vegetables of your choice, and lemon butter sauce on the side.

QUICK AND SIMPLE STEELHEAD TROUT RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 °F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil as the skin will stick to the pan.
• In a small skillet or saucepan, melt the butter. Add the shallot and cook on medium heat for about 3 minutes, until the shallot softens.
• Add the garlic and the lemon zest, cook for another minute. Cool slightly. Squeeze in half of the lemon juice.
• Place the fish on the prepared baking sheet and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Spoon the butter sauce over the fish.
• Sprinkle with half of the minced dill.
• Roast in the oven for about 15 minutes. The best way to check for doneness is to use a fork to gently prick the fish, and if it flakes easily, it's ready.
• Use two spatulas to take the fish off the baking sheet in one piece, or cut it into sections for serving.
• Squeeze the other half of the lemon juice over the fish and garnish with a little more fresh dill.

GRILLED STEELHEAD TROUT

Steps:

• Lightly oil the grate of your grill. Arrange lemon slices on the grate so they overlap slightly and form a shape slightly larger than your trout fillet.
• Preheat grill for medium heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat.
• Saute garlic and onion in the hot oil until the garlic browns slightly, 2 to 3 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Squeeze the reserved lemon ends over the garlic mixture.
• Gently lay the trout fillet onto the lemons with the skin side down. Brush the garlic mixture over the top of the fish.
• Cook trout on hot grill until the fish flesh flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes.

HONEY STEELHEAD TROUT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Place trout, skin-side down, onto the prepared baking sheet. Cover trout with honey and sprinkle mesquite seasoning, black pepper, and seasoned salt over honey. Press honey and seasonings into trout using a fork.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.

STEELHEAD TROUT SHEET PAN DINNER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick spray.
• Combine olive oil and Greek seasoning in a bowl. Add zucchini, squash, mushrooms, green beans, and garlic, and toss to coat. Spread into a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the crust for the fish. Place pecans in a high-frequency blender (such as Vitamix®) and blend on high for 20 seconds. Transfer to a small bowl and mix in panko and Greek seasoning; set aside.
• Remove vegetables from the oven and push them to one side of the sheet. Open the rice packet and carefully spread rice out on the empty side of the pan. Drizzle rice with water. Place trout fillets on top of the vegetables and rice. Brush fillets with melted butter and press panko mixture lightly into the fillets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish easily flakes with a fork, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

STEELHEAD TROUT BAKE WITH DIJON MUSTARD

• Bake in the preheated oven until the fish is opaque and flakes easily, 10 to 15 minutes.
