This delectable Broiled Steelhead recipe is a family favorite that I just had to share. It’s incredibly easy to prepare and absolutely scrumptious. Steelhead is a delightful fish that lies somewhere between salmon and trout in flavor, making it a versatile option for your meals. If you can’t find steelhead, don’t worry; salmon makes an excellent substitute. Plus, this recipe can be adapted for the BBQ—just make sure to use foil or a baking sheet to keep things neat. And don’t forget, the leftovers are perfect for making tasty sandwiches!
Ingredients:
- 1 steelhead fillet (about 1 lb) or substitute with salmon
- ¼ cup Hellmann’s mayonnaise
- ½ teaspoon dry dill weed
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for greasing
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Fish:
Start by rinsing your steelhead or salmon fillet under cold water. Pat it dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help ensure that the fish crisps up nicely under the broiler. -
Prepare the Baking Sheet:
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly brush it with olive oil. This step prevents the fish from sticking and makes clean-up a breeze. -
Make the Seasoning Mixture:
In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, dry dill weed, garlic powder, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk everything together until the mixture is smooth and well-blended. -
Season the Fish:
Place the fillet skin side down on the prepared baking sheet. Evenly spread the mayonnaise mixture over the top of the fish, ensuring it’s well coated. -
Preheat the Broiler:
Set your oven to broil and let it preheat for a few minutes. This high heat will give the fish a beautiful, golden-brown crust. -
Broil the Fish:
Position the baking sheet on the middle rack of your oven. Broil the fish on high for about 10 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork and has a golden-brown top. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This Broiled Steelhead pairs wonderfully with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables. Don’t forget to save some for delicious sandwiches!
