Steelhead Trout with Sweet Caramelized Onions

Ingredients

Steelhead trout fillets

4, about 6 oz each

Extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons

Onions

2 large, thinly sliced

Brown sugar

1 tablespoon

Balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons

Salt

to taste

Black pepper

to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Season the steelhead trout fillets on both sides with salt and pepper to your preference.
3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring often, until they soften and turn a deep caramel color, about 15-20 minutes.
4. Stir in the brown sugar and balsamic vinegar to the caramelized onions, allow it to cook for 2 more minutes. This will create a beautiful glaze.
5. Transfer the caramelized onions to the bottom of a baking dish, creating a bed for the steelhead trout fillets.
6. Place the seasoned steelhead trout fillets on top of the caramelized onions in the baking dish.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
8. Serve each fillet with a generous helping of caramelized onions on top. Enjoy!
