Steelhead Trout with Citrus Salsa

Ingredients

• Steelhead trout fillets (4 (6-ounce) fillets)
• Salt (1 teaspoon, divided)
• Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
• Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
• Jalapeno (1, finely chopped)
• Cilantro (1/4 cup, chopped)
• Red onion (1/4 cup, finely diced)
• Lime (1, juiced)
• Grapefruit (1, segmented)
• Orange (1, segmented)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Season the steelhead trout fillets with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and black pepper on both sides.
3. In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4. Carefully place the seasoned fillets in the skillet, skin side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
5. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
6. While the trout is cooking, prepare the citrus salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the orange segments, grapefruit segments, lime juice, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeno. Gently toss to combine, ensuring the fruit is coated in the lime juice and flavors meld together.
7. Once the trout is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a minute.
8. Serve the steelhead trout fillets topped generously with the refreshing citrus salsa.
9. Enjoy this delightful dish with a side of quinoa or a mixed green salad for a complete meal.
