Pan-Seared Steelhead with Garlic Butter Sauce
Pan-seared steelhead trout basted in a rich, velvety garlic butter sauce and served with crisp-tender roasted asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Steelhead trout fillet
1 tbsp Ghee
2 cloves Garlic
1 cup Asparagus
0.5 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to roast the vegetable side.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss the spears with the olive oil and a pinch of the sea salt and black pepper on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus for 10-12 minutes until tender but still vibrant green.
While the asparagus roasts, pat the steelhead trout completely dry with paper towels to ensure a crisp sear.
Season both sides of the fillet evenly with the remaining sea salt and black pepper.
Heat a heavy stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.
Place the fish skin-side down in the pan and press firmly with a flexible spatula for 30 seconds to prevent curling; sear for 3-4 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
Carefully flip the fillet, then add the ghee and the smashed garlic cloves to the pan.
Tilt the skillet slightly so the melting ghee pools with the garlic, then use a large spoon to continuously baste the top of the fish with the hot garlic butter for the final 2 minutes of cooking.
Transfer the steelhead to a plate and serve immediately alongside the roasted asparagus, drizzling any remaining garlic butter from the pan over the fish.
