Baked Steelhead Trout Recipes

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 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.

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.
