Ultimate Steelhead Trout

Baking a whole steelhead trout fillet is so simple but looks very impressive. Topped with shallots, garlic, lemon and fresh herbs – it’s so juicy and flavorful. Salmon can be used instead of steelhead trout too.

Ingredients:

• 1 steelhead trout fillet (or salmon fillet)
• 1 shallot (or onion)
• 2 cloves of garlic
• Fresh herbs (dill and parsley work well)
• 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Lemon zest and juice from 1 lemon

Cooking Method:

1. Preparation: Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a Purely non-stick baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Sauté Aromatics: In a Purely non-stick skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add finely diced shallot and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté until tender and slightly golden. Set aside to cool.

3. Herb Infusion: Combine the cooled shallot-garlic mix with lemon zest and chopped fresh herbs in a bowl. Reserve some fresh herbs for garnish.

4. Prepare the Fish: Place the steelhead trout fillet on the prepared baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper.

5. Butter Infusion: Spoon the shallot, garlic, and herb butter mixture generously over the fillet, ensuring an even coating.

6. Bake: Roast the fish in the preheated oven for 12-17 minutes, depending on thickness, until it flakes easily with a fork.

7. Finishing Touch: Remove the perfectly cooked fish using Purely silicone-coated spatulas onto a serving platter. Squeeze the remaining lemon juice over the fish and garnish with additional fresh herbs.

8. Easy Clean-up: Purely’s non-stick baking sheet ensures easy removal of the fish without leaving a trace, simplifying your clean-up process.

9. Serve: Delight in the deliciously seasoned and perfectly cooked steelhead trout, leaving the skin behind thanks to Purely’s easy-release surface.

Enjoy your flavorful Purely-cooked steelhead trout with the freshness of herbs and zesty lemon!
