Baked Steelhead Troutsalmon With Apricot Salsa Food

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.

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.

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.

• 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.

BAKED STEELHEAD TROUT/SALMON WITH APRICOT SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a medium bowl, combine apricots (reserve juice), pineapple, green onions, and bell pepper.
• Sprinkle with lime juice and cilantro.
• Toss all and chill for at least one hour.

• Cover trout with salsa.
• Gently pour reserved apricot juice over all.
• Place in oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes.

STEELHEAD TROUT RECIPE WITH LEMON CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Season the tops of steelhead trout fillets with Italian herb seasoning and salt (generously). Fish fillets will have skins on the bottom.
• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium heat until hot but not smoking. (Note: 1 tablespoon of olive oil is enough as fish will release lots of its own oil - steelhead trout is a fatty kind of fish).
• Add steelhead trout fillets, skin side up, non-skin side down. Cook for about 2 minutes on medium heat, making sure the oil does not smoke.
• Turn the fillets over, skin side down. Cook for another 2 minutes on medium-low heat (keeping oil from burning).
• Remove from heat, close the pan with the lid, and let the trout sit for 5-10 minutes until flaky and cooked through completely.
• After the fish is cooked through, using a spatula, carefully remove trout fillets to the plate, separating the fillet from the skin (skin will remain on the bottom of the pan). Carefully scrape the fish skin off the bottom of the pan, making sure to leave the fish oil in the pan.
• Add capers, diced garlic, and lemon juice to the same skillet with oil in which you just cooked the trout.
• Cook the sauce on medium-low heat for about 1 minute, until garlic softens a bit. Remove from heat.
• Add 2 tablespoons of butter, off heat, to the lemon caper sauce, stirring, until the butter melts and forms a creamy mixture.
• Add cooked steelhead trout fillets back to the pan, spoon sauce over the fish, and serve.

LEMON GARLIC BUTTER STEELHEAD

Steps:

• 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, red pepper 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!
• 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.
• Top cooked steelhead with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

GARLIC BUTTER BAKED STEELHEAD TROUT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the steelhead trout fillet onto a baking pan lined with foil.
• Combine the salt, pepper, garlic, butter, and lemon zest in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly.
• Spread the garlic butter mixture onto the flesh side of the trout. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
• Cover the trout with another sheet of aluminum foil, then crimp the edges together to form a pouch.
• Bake the trout for 15 minutes.

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.

OCEAN TROUT/SALMON WITH LIME AND LEMON GRASS HOLLANDAISE

Steps:

• Combine lemon grass, shredded lime leaves, rind and juice in a saucepan, bring to the boil, reduce heat simmer, uncovered, until liquid is reduced to 1 Tablespoon.
• Strain through a fine sieve into a medium heatproof bowl, cool 10 Min's, discard solids.
• Set bowl over saucepan of simmering water, do not allow water to touch the base of the bowl, add egg yolk to juice mixture, whisk over heat until thickened.
• Remove bowl from heat, gradually add melted butter in a thin, steady stream, whisking constantly until sauce has thickened. (If sauce is too thick a tablespoon of hot water can be added.) stir in finely chopped kaffir lime leaves.
• Meanwhile, cook the fish on a heated oiled grill or fry pan until cooked as desired, serve with hollandaise. I prefer to cook my fish skin side down first and really get a nice crisp skin on it.
