Servings: 4

Ingredients

Steelhead trout fillets
4 (6 oz each)
Salt
to taste
Black pepper
to taste
Olive oil
2 tablespoons, divided
Garlic
2 cloves, minced
Lime juice
2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed
Cilantro
1/4 cup, chopped plus more for garnish
Red onion
1/4 cup, finely diced
Tomatillos
6, husked and diced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Season the steelhead trout fillets generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  3. In an oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  4. Place the seasoned steelhead trout fillets in the skillet, skin side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
  5. Carefully 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 baking, prepare the tomatillo salsa. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatillos, red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, minced garlic, the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well to combine.
  7. Once the trout is finished baking, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
  8. To serve, place each fillet on a plate and top with a generous spoonful of the tomatillo salsa.
  9. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired, and enjoy!
