The tender, melt-in-your-mouth fish is adorned with a golden, crispy crust that's bursting with the bright zest of lemon and a medley of aromatic herbs.

Ingredients
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup
- Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon, finely chopped
- Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon, finely chopped
- Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon
- Steelhead fillets
- 4 (6 ounce) fillets
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, prepare the herb crust by combining the lemon zest, parsley, dill, breadcrumbs, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
- Arrange the steelhead fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each fillet generously with olive oil to help the crust adhere and to keep the fish moist.
- Evenly divide the lemon and herb crust mixture, pressing it onto the top of each fillet to form a thick coating.
- Bake the steelhead in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden brown and crispy.
- Let the fish rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful bite. Serve the steelhead with your favorite fresh salad or sautéed vegetables for a wholesome meal.
Tips
- For an extra burst of freshness, serve with lemon wedges on the side.
- Feel free to swap out the dill and parsley for other herbs like rosemary or thyme for a new flavor profile.
- The breadcrumbs can be replaced with crushed almonds or pecans for a gluten-free alternative.
