Equipment

• Oven

Ingredients

  

• 1 Large lemon
• 1.5 pounds Steelhead portions
• 1/2 stick Unsalted Butter
• 3 cloves Garlic minced (use 4 if smaller cloves)
• 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
• 1 sprinkle Fresh ground black pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup Chopped Parseley for Garnish optional
• 1 sprinkle Red pepper flakes optional

Instructions

 

• Heat oven to 375 degrees F
• Cut the lemon in half. Juice one half and reserve the juice for adding to your sauce. Cut the remaining half into 4-5 thin lemon slices and set aside
• Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat.
• Add garlic, redpepper flakes, salt, and pepper to melted butter and sauté, stirring frequently, for about one minute until garlic is fragrant and slightly soft
• Remove skillet from heat. Stir in reserved lemon juice and set aside.
• Lightly oil a large sheet pan. Place steelhead fillet on pan.
• Pour butter mixture over steelhead fillet. Use a pastry brush, the back of a spoon, or your hands to lightly rub the butter mixture into the fish.
• Lay reserved lemon slices across the surface of the steelhead. You’re ready to bake!
• Bake steelhead at 375 degrees F for 20-25 minutes until cooked through. When it’s cooked, the steelhead will have slightly lightened in color and will be easily flaked with a fork.
• Garnish cooked steelhead with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately

Notes

• It tastes (and looks!) a LOT like salmon – basically, if you like salmon, you’ll probably like steelhead trout.
• Steelhead packs plenty of omega-3s and other vitamins at a fraction of the cost of salmon – so if you’ve been shying away from wild salmon because of the price point, LOOK NO FURTHER! Steelhead is a great alternative. 
• We sell Steelhead fillet portions in our online store for just $15.99 per pound!
