Steelhead Trout

[rickgregory]

Your recipe sounds great. But I want to taste the fish. I don't want to cover it up, I want to subtly enhance it. That's one reason I said "if these are line-caught" as wild trout has a lovely flavor.

You're missing out on the added fat the mayo brings. Try it some time.

I like light salting, some lemon or orange slices on the fish, cover with fresh dill and butter slices on top of the dill so it drips down through. Smoke on cedar plank to your desired doneness.

I'll disagree with Attjack not because it doesn't sound good but because you hide the fish with all of that. If this is fresh line caught rainbow, keep it simple. Salt, pepper, lemon. Plank it. Let the fish show through.

But I am stealing that treatment for the generic rockfish stuff....

I season several ways but lately I've salted a little, a light sprinkle of salt free lemon pepper and some Marietta's Fish Rub.
IMO the Marietta's Fish Rub is great on all kinds of seafood.

Cool!!!
Thanks so much!!!

Yeah, make a flavored mayo and slather it all over the trout. Harissa and lime is a good flavor combo but you can get creative. Cook on the plank at medium-high indirectly until it reaches about 135 internal.

Does anyone have a recipe for steel-head trout?
Preferably using a cedar plank....
Thanks!!!
