Description
Grilled Steelhead Trout with Herb Butter is a delicious and healthy dish that features tender trout fillets grilled to perfection and topped with a flavorful herb butter.
Ingredients
- 4 steelhead trout fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, parsley, dill, chives, and minced garlic. Mix until well combined and set aside.
- Pat the steelhead trout fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Place the trout fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, then carefully flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- During the last minute of cooking, spoon a generous amount of the herb butter over each fillet to melt.
- Remove the trout from the grill and drizzle with lemon juice. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the trout in olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs for 30 minutes before grilling.
- Substitute the steelhead trout with salmon or another firm fish for a different taste.
