Delicious baked lemon mustard Steelhead Trout recipe for an easy 30 minute dinner. Our healthy salmon trout is perfectly crispy on the top and soft and moist in the middle. Baked in the oven, this steelhead is perfect for a quick meal on a weekday. Kid approved too.
Cooking fish is one of my favorite quick meals to do, especially when prepared in the oven. Not every day is a grill day, although I wish. Sometimes however, oven baked fish may take like boiled fish if not given the appropriate coating. No fear, this recipe has it all – perfect crispy top with mouthwatering soft and moist middle. Just like my kids like it.
BAKED STEELHEAD TROUT – Ingredients
- 700 g steelhead trout fillets – works with rainbow trout as well
- 2 tbsp. sesame seeds, whole – not processed
- 3 tbsp. breadcrumbs – preferably organic
- 1 tbsp. lemon peel – fresh or dried works well too
- 1 tbsp. thyme – I prefer dried, but fresh works too
- lemon juice from 1/2 lemon – medium size
- 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard – or other type of mustard
- 1 tbsp. olive oil – extra virgin

WHAT to serve with steelhead trout?
Steelhead trout is a non-pretentious meal that is less oily and fish-y than salmon. Thus, it goes well with any vegetable side or a simple salad. Personally, I like to pair my trout with this epic Mediterranean couscous salad with roasted zucchini and cucumber. Or, alternatively serve with our extra fluffy mashed potatoes (recipe that turns great with or without milk).
