Questions about Steelhead trout
Is steelhead trout the same fish as rainbow trout?
Steelhead is the migratory form of rainbow trout: it spends part of its life at sea and returns to fresh water to spawn. Its flesh is often pink and its flavour richer than that of many freshwater rainbow trout.
How do you cook steelhead trout in the oven?
Put the fillet skin-side down on a lightly oiled tray and bake at 200 °C for about 12–15 minutes for a fillet around 2.5 cm thick. It is cooked when the centre reaches 63 °C and the flesh flakes easily.
How do you stop steelhead trout sticking to the barbecue?
Oil the clean grill and the fish, then cook the fillet skin-side down over medium heat for 4–6 minutes before turning it carefully for another 2–4 minutes. If the skin sticks, give it another minute rather than pulling it off.
How should you store fresh steelhead trout?
Keep it covered in the coldest part of the fridge and cook it within one or two days of buying it. To keep it longer, wrap it tightly and freeze it; thaw it overnight in the fridge, not on the worktop.
What goes well with steelhead trout?
Its rich, gently sweet flavour works well with lemon, dill, capers or a mustard sauce. Serve it with new potatoes and green vegetables, or flake cooked fish into a warm potato salad.
Can you eat steelhead trout raw?
Only eat it raw if it has been handled and frozen specifically for raw consumption, since ordinary fresh fish may contain parasites. Otherwise, cook it until the centre reaches 63 °C.
How does steelhead trout compare with rainbow trout?
They are two forms of the same species, but steelhead has lived in the sea before returning to fresh water and is often more robust in flavour. Rainbow trout has 167 kcal and 23.7 g of protein per 100 g; steelhead trout has 159 kcal and 21 g of protein.
