This Baked Steelhead Trout with Summer Squash recipe is an incredibly wholesome dish that takes advantage of simple, dry-heat baking to gently cook the fish while preserving its moisture and nutrients.
Ingredients
- 4 (6 oz) fresh Steelhead Trout fillets, skin-on
- 2 medium yellow summer squash, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 2 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 fresh lemon, sliced into wedges
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, toss the sliced summer squash and zucchini with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread the vegetables evenly across the prepared baking sheet.
- Pat the steelhead trout fillets dry with a paper towel. Rub the flesh side of each fillet with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then season evenly with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Place the trout fillets, skin-side down, nestling them among the squash on the baking sheet. Place a lemon wedge next to each fillet.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the thickest part of the trout flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. The squash should be tender and slightly caramelized at the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Garnish the fish and vegetables with fresh chopped dill and serve immediately alongside the warm lemon wedges.
