By blending the slightly tart yet sweet flavors from the honey glaze and garlic, you can turn a good piece of Steelhead Trout into something great. Hello, Honey Balsamic Steelhead Trout!
While in the search for tasty but healthy dinner ideas, this Sheet Pan Honey Balsamic Steelhead Trout recipe was the perfect choice. Sheet pan dinners are very popular because the are simple to pull together and equate to a full meal in the end.
Making the Honey Balsamic Steelhead Trout:
- Seasoning the trout is the most important step. I keep the seasoning for this recipe fairly simple as to not overpower the dish. Sea salt, black pepper and creole seasoning will do the trick.
- To make the balsamic glaze, you’ll combine honey, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, white cooking wine (or wine of your choice), brown sugar and minced garlic. The sweeter ingredients help to balance out the tartness from the balsamic vinegar.
- Pour the glaze on the entire filet and outline the fish with fresh broccoli. You can certainly use other vegetables in place of broccoli, but make sure it can hold up to the oven temperatures.
Vegetables good for baking with this Honey Balsamic Steelhead Trout include Asparagus, Bell Peppers, Brussels Sprouts (halved), Butternut Squash, Baby Carrots, and Cauliflower.
You can also mix the broccoli in the sauce to give it a boost as well. There are a lot of benefits to eating this type of fish but the most important one for this dinner recipe will be the taste!

Melissa this is so awesome I truly appreciate that this gives me the inspiration to keep cooking. Thank you
Excellent flavor. I did not have steel head but rainbow trout and
they were whole head and tail on. Cooked it as normal with the
seasonings and the sauce. Had quite a bit of sauce left to drizzle
over the fish after flaking it off the bones. Will make it again,
Thanks.
