Bourbon Steelhead Trout Recipes

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.

SMOKED STEELHEAD TROUT (SALMON)

Steps:

• Rinse the fish fillets and place them in a shallow glass baking dish. Drizzle olive oil over the fish and season with garlic and rosemary. Rub the seasonings into the fish. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Dissolve the curing salt in the water and pour into the dish with the fish. Let it marinate for 15 minutes per half inch of thickness.
• Meanwhile, prepare your smoker for a four hour slow burn using charcoal. The temperature should be at 150 degrees F (65 degrees C) before you get started.
• Remove the fish from the brine and discard leftover liquid. Place each piece of fish onto a small piece of aluminum foil - just big enough to hold the fillet, and season with pepper to taste. Place them on the rack in the smoker. Sprinkle a handful of the soaked wood chips over the coals or place in a heat box. Cover and allow fish to smoke for 2 hours, adding more wood chips as needed.
• Increase the heat in the smoker (add more charcoal) to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) and let the fish smoke until the internal temperature of the fillets reaches 165 degrees F (72 degrees C). Remove from the smoker and let rest for 20 minutes before serving.

HONEY BALSAMIC STEELHEAD TROUT

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.

GRILLED STEELHEAD TROUT WITH HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Combine softened butter, garlic and herbs in a small food processor. Be careful not to run the food processor too long as it will cause the butter to heat up and melt.
• Roll the mixed butter into a log in a square of clear plastic wrap
• Place in refrigerator to allow to harden
• Bring the grill to 350 degrees on direct heat
• Apply olive oil to both sides of the steelhead along with a light coating of salt and pepper, to taste
• Place it skin side down on the grill. Grill for 15 minutes.
• Flip and cook for an additional 8-12 minutes. Make sure to check the thickest parts of the fish for an internal temperature of 145 degrees. It should be flaky with a fork.
• Using two larg spatulas, lift it from the grill and place it on a sheet pan
• Add 4-5 pats of chilled butter and allow to melt over the hot steelhead

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.
