Steelhead Trout Recipe
Description
The steelhead trout filet is seasoned with salt, black pepper, pressed garlic, and olive oil, then topped with thin slices of lemon and orange to infuse citrus flavor as it bakes at 350°F. Meanwhile, quinoa is cooked and vegetables are prepared. A Greek-style dressing is made with olive oil, oregano, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper to complement the dish.
The trout is baked until done to preference, then rested while the serving board or platter is assembled. The cooked quinoa is arranged with chopped cucumbers, baby tomatoes, pickled onion, fresh basil, kalamata olives, crumbled feta, capers, and dips including hummus, tzatziki, and a spicy feta dip. This varied board provides a balance of textures and flavors alongside the tender baked trout.
This recipe can be adapted by substituting salmon if steelhead trout is unavailable, or serving the fish with other grains or pita breads. The accompaniment dips and vegetables offer flexible options to suit different tastes or occasions.

- When the quinoa is done cooking and the oven has preheated, cook the prepared steelhead trout for 12-18 minutes or until the trout is done to your desired doneness.
- When the trout is done cooking, set aside to rest as you assemble the board/platter.Use a large cutting board or sheet pan and line with parchment paper. Assemble the cooked quinoa, vegetables and dips around the edges of the board or sheet pan, leaving a spot in the middle for the cooked trout. Season the cucumber and tomatoes with a big pinch of salt. Then, gently place the trout in the middle, drizzle the Greek dressing over the entire platter and serve family style (reference the recipe photos for serving inspiration!)
Notes
- If steelhead trout is unavailable, a large salmon filet can be used as a substitute.
- Serve with fluffy Greek pita breads or another grain such as rice instead of quinoa if preferred.
- The dips can be customized; serving just tzatziki alone is a simple alternative.
