Steelhead: Lake Run Rainbow Trout
January 7, 2012
A dappled and rosy steelhead
Last night we had steelhead for dinner. It was just caught in a cold tributary to Lake Michigan. A steelhead is a large strain of rainbow trout that ascends rivers from the Great Lakes to spawn. Such fish are called anadromous. Its skin was bright red and steely; its flesh salmon color. Delicious. I baked it in a little olive oil and some seasonings. The trick is not to over cook. It’s done when the flesh just begins to flake when poked with a fork.
Read more about Great Lakes fish in my book, The Dynamic Great Lakes. It’s widely available on the www and in brick and mortar stores such as Barnes & Noble.
