Baked Honey Lemon Steelhead Trout Recipes

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.

HONEY STEELHEAD TROUT

• 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.

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.

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.

HONEY & LEMON TROUT WITH WILTED SPINACH

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cut 2 large lengths of baking parchment, put thyme in the middle of each one, then top with the trout. Mix the lemon juice with 2 tsp oil and the crushed garlic, pour over the fish and wrap up into 2 parcels, sealing in the juices. Bake for 10 mins on a baking tray.
• Meanwhile, stir-fry the spinach in 1 tsp oil. When almost wilted, add the sliced garlic and the nutmeg, and continue cooking until wilted. Tear the fish parcels open, spoon on the honey and scatter with the lemon zest. Serve still in their parcels, or on top of the spinach.

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.
