Directions
Recipe Introduction: Fresh steelhead trout is baked with a simple lemon herb butter made with fresh parsley, dill, garlic, and lemon for a tender, flavourful dinner that's easy enough for a weeknight and special enough for entertaining.
Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a baking sheet or baking dish with parchment paper.
Step 2: Pat the steelhead trout dry and place skin-side down on the prepared pan. Brush with olive oil and season evenly with salt and pepper.
Step 3: In a small bowl, combine the butter, parsley, dill, garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Spread the herb butter evenly over the trout.
Step 4: Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Step 5: Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Serve with fresh lemon slices.
Serving Suggestion: Serve with roasted seasonal vegetables, a fresh green salad, or steamed rice for a complete and balanced meal.
