Steelhead Trout Fillet Recipe Oven

BAKED HONEY LEMON STEELHEAD TROUT

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients for the sauce. Set aside.
• Place the trout in a large baking dish or a plastic container, or a large Ziploc bag. Cover the fish with the sauce and place in the refrigerator for at least one hour, and up to 4 hours for best results.
• Preheat the oven to 450F.
• Transfer the trout, with the sauce, into a foil boat, place on a baking sheet and bake at 450F for about 15-20 minutes or until the fish is tender and flakes easily. Do not overcook. If you start seeing albumin (white fish proteins) coming out, that's a good indication that the fish has entered into over-cooked territory and needs to be pulled out immediately.
• For better browning, place the rack in the second position from the top. You can also turn on the broiler on high about 12 minutes into baking to achieve even better browning. If the fish is browning too much before it is done, turn off the broiler and move the baking sheet down a couple of positions.
• Serve with roasted vegetables, salad or rice.

BAKED SALMON TROUT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 F (190 C).
• In a small bowl combine the butter, salt, pepper, garlic and paprika.
• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Place the fish skin side down.
• Pour the butter mixture over the fish, make sure the top is covered with it. Wrap with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover the fish and broil (at 400 F) for 3-5 minutes, until the fish turns golden on top and looks "baked", not steamed. Serve immediately.

ULTIMATE STEELHEAD TROUT RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
• In a skillet or small 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. If it's really big, lay it diagonally across the baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spoon the butter over the fish.
• Sprinkle with half of the minced dill.
• Roast in the oven for 12-17 minutes, depending on how thick the fish is. 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 several spatulas to take the fish off the baking sheet in one piece. (Or cut it into sections, if it's easier.)
• Squeeze the other half of the lemon over the fish and sprinkle with more fresh dill.

BROILED STEELHEAD TROUT WITH ROSEMARY, LEMON AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Prepare a baking or roasting pan by lining it with foil and brushing it with olive oil.
• Preheat broiler.
• Mix together all remaining ingredients except fish into a well-blended paste.
• Place fish skin-side down (if it has skin) on baking sheet, then spread seasoning over flesh.
• Broil fish at second rack away from heat for 5 minutes or less, just enough to sear flesh but not burn herbs.
• Lower fish to 3rd or 4th rack and lower oven heat to 325°F Bake for 10 additional minutes, or until fish is cooked through in the thickest portion.
• Serve with steamed vegetables, salad, orzo salad, whatever.

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 BAKE WITH DIJON MUSTARD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Arrange trout fillets in the baking dish. Mix white wine, Dijon mustard, garlic, lemon juice, dill, and lemon-pepper seasoning in a bowl; spread over the fillets, letting some run underneath the fish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the fish is opaque and flakes easily, 10 to 15 minutes.

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.

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.

OVEN-BAKED TROUT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (or 205°C).
• Check the trout fillet for scales and remove any.
• Line a large rimmed baking sheet with a large piece of aluminum foil. The foil piece should be slightly larger than the trout.
• Place the trout on the aluminum foil. The skin side should face the foil.
• Drizzle olive oil on both sides of the trout. Then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Slice the lemon into thin rounds and cover the fish with lemon slices, then the fresh sprigs of parsley.
• Use the excess aluminum foil to wrap the trout and keep everything in place. Crimp the edges of the foil over each other to seal the packet closed.
• Bake the trout for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of your fillet.
• After 10 minutes, take the baking sheet out and check the fish. Use a fork to gently prod the flesh in the thickest part of the fillet. It should be tender and flake easily when it is done cooking.
• If your trout is fully cooked, it's ready to serve. Otherwise, return the baking sheet to the oven and check in another 5 to 10 minutes.
• Serve your trout by opening up the foil packet at the table and wowing your guests.

HONEY BALSAMIC STEELHEAD TROUT

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease an enabled cast-iron skillet with butter or olive oil.
• Slice your steelhead into equal portions. Season with 1/2 tsp. sea salt, black pepper, and creole seasoning. Add fish to the (oven-safe) skillet. Set to the side.
• Add honey, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, white wine, brown sugar, and minced garlic to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes on low heat, then slightly increase heat to medium and cook until it begins to thicken for an additional 5 to 10 minutes if needed. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for a few minutes.
• Pour the honey balsamic glaze over the steelhead trout fillets in the skillet.
• Toss your broccoli florets in olive oil and 1/2 tsp. salt.
• Place broccoli in the same pan as the fish. Add oregano over the fish and broccoli.
• Bake for 10 minutes.

STEELHEAD TROUT BAKED WITH HONEY OR MAPLE GLAZE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a small sauce pan over low heat. Whisk in the ingredients. Place the fish in the center of a rectangle of foil. Pour the glaze over the fish and fold the packet around the fish. Preheat the oven to 400°F. (This essentially allows the fish to marinate). If you're in a big hurry, start the oven before you make the glaze and just pop it in. Bake for 10 minutes + 10 minutes for each inch of thickness. So, a one inch thick fillet would bake for twenty minutes. 1.5″ would be 25 minutes. Got it? The recipe makes enough glaze for a little over two pounds of fish. It is easily halved or doubled. This recipe could be done on the grill, but remember to not cook the fish over direct heat, unless you enjoy rubbery, dried out fish. On the grill it can be done in a foil packet as described or you may skip it. If you choose to grill, place it skin side up, first. Once the fish has cooked, it falls apart, the skin sort of holds it together, making transfer a little bit easier.
