Steelhead Trout with Zucchini Noodles

Indulge in the vibrant flavors of the Pacific Northwest with this Steelhead Trout served over a bed of fresh, sautéed zucchini noodles. This dish captures the essence of healthy dining, combining the rich, buttery texture of steelhead with the light, refreshing crunch of zucchini. Drizzled with a zesty lemon-garlic sauce and garnished with fresh parsley, this meal is not only a feast for the eyes but also a delightful taste of nature's bounty. Originating from the cold waters of the Pacific, steelhead trout has been cherished for its delicate flavor and high omega-3 fatty acid content, making it an excellent choice for health-conscious diners.

Ingredients

Zucchini
2 medium, spiralized
Steelhead trout fillets
2 (6 oz each)
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Garlic
2 cloves, minced
Lemon
1, juiced
Salt
to taste
Pepper
to taste
Fresh parsley
for garnish

Instructions

  1. Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles from the zucchinis and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  4. Add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently until they are tender but still slightly crisp. Remove the noodles from the skillet and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  6. Season the steelhead trout fillets generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  7. Place the fillets in the skillet, skin side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes. Flip the fillets gently and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until they are opaque and easily flake with a fork.
  8. Remove the trout fillets from the skillet and set aside on a warm plate.
  9. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper to create a light, zesty sauce.
  10. To serve, divide the zucchini noodles onto plates and place a steelhead trout fillet on top of each bed of noodles.
  11. Drizzle the lemon sauce generously over the fish and noodles, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Tips

  • 💡 For added flavor, consider marinating the steelhead trout in olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • 💡 Feel free to add other vegetables like cherry tomatoes or bell peppers to the zucchini noodles for extra color and nutrients.
  • 💡 If you want to spice things up, a pinch of red pepper flakes can be added to the garlic while sautéing.
