Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Steelhead trout fillets (4 (6-ounce) fillets)
  • Soy sauce (1/4 cup)
  • Honey (2 tablespoons)
  • Fresh ginger (1 tablespoon, grated)
  • Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
  • Lime juice (2 tablespoons)
  • Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
  • Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon)
  • Green onions (2, sliced (for garnish))
  • Toasted sesame seeds (1 tablespoon (for garnish))

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, lime juice, vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined. This will be your flavorful glaze.
  3. Place the steelhead trout fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.
  4. Generously brush the ginger soy glaze over the fillets, ensuring they are well-coated. Reserve some glaze for later.
  5. Bake the steelhead trout in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Once cooked, remove the trout from the oven and brush the fillets with the remaining glaze for an extra burst of flavor.
  7. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
  8. Enjoy your Steelhead Trout with Ginger Soy Glaze hot, perhaps accompanied by steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
