Anything in particular that you are looking for?
Fish is a fairly versitile meat to cook with. I'll see what I can dig up though.
You could always vaccuum seal and freeze the fillets.

Emeril's essence
2 1/2 tbsp paprika 2 tbsp salt 2 tbsp garlic powder 1 tbsp black pepper 1 tbsp onion powder 1 tbsp cayenne pepper 1 tbsp dried leaf oregano 1 tbsp dried thyme
Run it through a blender until a powder consistency. This stuff has some kick to it.

1/3 cup canola oil, plus 2 teaspoons for sheet pan 1 side of fish, with pin bones removed 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
coat sheet pan with 2 tbsp of oil. put fish in pan skin side down. Salt & pepper (crushed is best) as desired. Set aside.
Blend either spice mixture with 1/3c of canola oil until well blended. Stop every so often to brush down sides of cup.
Brush the spice/oil mix over the fish and let sit for 30min
Heat the over to a high broiler temp. Put fish about 6inches under the broiler until it reaches 131F (internal) roughly about 15min. Remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

Blue Creek was on fire this weekend. My wife and I brought home 8 fish with only a couple hours a day of fishing. Used pink yarn with one small puff ball(orange) on the bend of the hook. We were knocking them dead. I portioned them all up and put my new food saver to work. I spent over an hour and a half vacuum sealing the suckers. I just need new recipies for cooking. The sad part is that I cook for a living. I know the basics such as the cedar plank. Most of the stuff I have is for salmon though. Just would like something new. Has anyone eaten blacked steelhead. I might give it a try.

Try poaching it in 1/2 white wine & 1/2 water with a few green peppercorns and herbs de provence. Good served hot or cold.

Cut into single serving size pieces, rub liberally with good quality olive oil, rub with Emeril's essence or similar concoction and grill (skin side first). Simple, elegant and delicious.

brewer found this awhile back in a safeway, A1 lemon pepper marinade. very simple, take a fresh or thawed fillet, set in a cake pan or tin foil. and simply pour over the top and let sit for several hours. then bake or BARBQUE. the family just raves how awesome the fish is. very simple yet very tasty.

We've tried something a bit different for Steelhead and really like it. The crowd for Monday Night Football liked it too!
Krusteaz coating Parmesan cheese (the seasoned one)not the shredded kind but the grated. Onion, Garlic powder and pepper are also good with the mix Grizz likes a little Cayenne too This is a deep frying method, so heat your oil to about 425 Mix your dry ingredients Krusteaz mix 1 cup to 1/3 cup of the grated parmesan cheese. Add Tblsp of the onion & garlic powder (not salt) and pepper to taste. As much Cayenne as you like, or don't like. Cut your steelhead into bite size pieces, coat well and carefully drop into hot oil. Fry till they float, place on paper towel to help with the grease. Let them cool and enjoy!

Heres a tasty recipe for you. Spray some non stick cooking spray on the grill, place flesh side down for a couple minutes to sear the outer layer, then turn over and apply a quality teryaki sauce, turn down heat, repeat a few times, and cook until done. The outer flesh should be carmalized. The sauce I like has the sesame seeds, minced garlic and onions already in.

I just like mine with plane garlic salt and lemon pepper. The only way I cook mine now is in the Kamado. I sear the meat side at 400 for 5 min then flip it over and lower the temp to about 250 for 10 min’s. Grubbing

I love raw salmon, especially Atlantics. The Pacific species of anadromous fish have too high a risk of parasites to eat raw.

Kongelaks, the only way to get one is go to Kamado.com and order it. It takes about 3 months to get it and my #7 cost about $1600.00 and weights over 400lbs. It is the ultimate in charcoal BBQ’s. Most of the people who competition cooks use a Kamado. That BBQ turns an ok BBQ’er into a pro overnight.

COOL Bar-B! Hmmm..maybe we can sneak it in the materials list for the new house and finance it for 30 years. $1,600??? ACK!
Steelhead recipe: Put whatever spices appeal to you on the fillet. Then cover the fillet with mayonaise, thick enough so you cannot see any pink meat through it; about 1/8" or so. Preheat the oven broiler, and when hot, put the fillet ( on a cookie sheet ) on the second rack from the top. Broil it until the mayonaise is burned absolutely black. The heat from the oil in the mayonaise will have passed all the way through the fillet, taking with it the flavor of the spices. The meat will be incredibly moist and the blackened mayonaise ( DON'T scrape it off!!! ) will have no hint of burned flavor. You have to try it to believe it, but many people have told me it's the best they've had.

OK Dean as long as you supply the fresh steelhead for us to deep fry. (walleye could be a substitute)

Deep fry with a flour, egg, and crushed crackers, sut into 1-1 1/2 strips (sticks). Simple easy and dang good. For a change of taste try subbing the flour and egg with Ranch Salad Dressing.

Slice onions and lay them in the glass dish.Then lay fillets on the onions then lay pinaple slices over fillets and pour juice in with fish,cover and bake.Ive used lemon slices,orange slices,and herbs mixed in before,but the plain is my favorite.This works for halibut and salmon too.

Great sauce:
In a small sauce pan saute in BUTTER (about 2x more than normal) a little garlic (optional) and then some fresh dill &/or rosemary, after about 2-4 min. @ med heat, squeeze in 1/2 a lemons jucie (careful to get seeds out) in and let it reduce by 1/2. Add about 1.5-2 cups heavy cream and reduce heat and reduce it by @ 1/2 or until you don't want to wait anymore. Be careful, when reducing cream it can break (fat seperate from the other stuff) if this happens sauce won't tast as good, but you can add a LITTLE pickle juice to help bring it back together. This is a fantastic sauce for halibut or any other fish.
