Steel head trout is a favorite of mine. Many people think it is a form of salmon because of the color, which is so similar, but it is a form of rainbow trout.
It is rich and delicious and gives you more than your daily dose of omega 3 fatty acids.
This recipe for Steel head trout with lemon Parmesan sauce is delicious and so easy to make. Just bake the trout until it flakes easily. Make the sauce in the last few minutes of cooking and serve the trout with the delicious Parmesan sauce served over it.
If you have never had steel head trout you are in for a treat. And if you like salmon, you will love it. It is sort of like a richer salmon taste. Just delicious!

Hi Amy. So glad you liked it. Thanks for sharing to your profiles. Carol
Loved it but I think 2tbs was a little much on the lemon for my taste.
Hi Valerie. Thanks for the input. It is always nice to hear how others like the combination of flavors. I’ll mention this in my recipe. carol
@Carol, fresh parm or green can parm or does it matter?
I always use fresh Parmesan. You can substitute with the canned, but it will not taste the same.
Anxious to try it
I’m on a Keto plan and guess what ? This delicious recipe fits right in. I had it over a baby spinach and arugula mix and it was perfect!
Glad to know it fits into the keto diet Debbie. Glad you enjoyed it.
