Steelhead Trout Sheet Pan Dinner Recipes

PAN-FRIED TROUT WITH LEMON THYME BUTTER

Steps:

• Pat dry fillets thoroughly with paper towel. Salt and pepper on all side.
• In a large skillet (I use non-stick), 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 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, 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. 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.

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.

SHEET-PAN TROUT AND SUCCOTASH RECIPE | EPICURIOUS

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in top third of oven; preheat to 450°F. Line an 18x13" rimmed baking sheet with foil. Lay trout open like a book, skin side down and alternating head-to-tail next to each other on one half of pan. Sprinkle flesh with Old Bay, then dot with half of butter. Arrange lemon slices over.
• Drape a long (about 30") piece of foil crosswise over other half of pan. Toss together corn, green beans, tomato, salt, and remaining butter on foil. Fold edges up and over to create packet; pinch edges closed.
• Roast until trout is opaque and cooked through, about 10 minutes. You want to check the thickest part of the flesh-if you need to lift a lemon to look at it, do so, and continue roasting until it's totally opaque.
• While fish is cooking, whisk mayonnaise, lemon juice, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
• Divide trout and succotash among plates. Serve with mayonnaise sauce alongside.
