Creamy Tuscan Steelhead Trout
Creamy Tuscan Steelhead Trout made with pan-fried fish and a creamy and flavorful sauce filled with fresh spinach and sundried tomatoes.
Taking a simply prepared fish and enhancing it with one of my favorite sauce preparations is an easy dinner recipe decision. You can’t go wrong incorporating Parmesan cheese into anything.
The flaky texture of pan-seared trout paired with the creaminess of this awesome sauce puts this recipe on constant repeat in my home. The sauce can also be used with many other types of fish including salmon, cod, or red snapper.
Making the Creamy Tuscan Steelhead Trout:
Begin by cutting your Steelhead Trout into equal portions.
You’ll want to cook your fish for 4 minutes (skin side up) first, then flip it over for 3 additional minutes on the other side.
Once you add the butter, minced garlic, and coconut flour to the pan you are halfway there.
Add your whipping cream and cream seasonings before adding the spinach and sun-dried tomatoes.
Quick note, to adjust the consistency of your sauce, you can add more cream and less Parmesan cheese (loosens) or vice versa (thickens).
Once your sauce is ready, place your cooked Steelhead Trout back into the saucepan and cover with all that saucy goodness.
When you want a great tasting fish dish with an amazing cream sauce give this Creamy Tuscan Steelhead Trout recipe a spot on your table and you will thoroughly enjoy it.

Wow! This dish was incredible. So easy to prepare, and came together remarkably fast. My partner and I like steelhead trout, and this recipe is a must-have in a world with so few steelhead recipes!
Hello Jazzlyn! Thanks for the wonderful feedback! Glad you both enjoyed the recipe.
I made this recipe for my family and friends. It was a huge hit. There is a lot of sauce left over but it’s great to save and use on angel hair pasta.
Thanks for the feedback, Sharon! Glad it was a hit!
Made this for my wife and I. Amazing!
We have plenty of leftover sauce so I am going to add it to pasta tonight.
Awesome, Jim! Thanks for sharing and I hope it was a good combination with your pasta as well. Thanks again for sharing your experience.
