Bright, buttery steelhead trout gets a Pacific Northwest twist with clementine-dill butter. It’s paired with crispy roasted Brussels sprouts and garlicky smashed yellow potatoes for a cozy, seasonal plate that feels restaurant-worthy on a weeknight.

Ingredients

  • Fresh Steelhead Trout Fillet 12 oz (two 6-oz portions) $8.99/lb (sale)
  • Brussels Sprouts 12 oz, halved $3.99/lb
  • Organic Yellow Potatoes 1 lb, small, quartered $2.49/lb
  • Seedless Mandarin Clementine Oranges (3 lb bag) 1 fruit (zest + 2 tsp juice) $3.99 (sale)
  • Simple Truth Organic Baby Dill 1 tbsp, finely chopped $2.79/0.5 oz
  • Simple Truth Organic Garlic Bulbs 2 cloves, minced $2.79/3 ct
  • Butter 2 tbsp, softened (divided)
  • Olive oil 2 tbsp (divided)
  • Salt & black pepper To taste

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 425Β°F. Put potatoes in a pot, cover with cold salted water, bring to a boil, and simmer until just tender, 10–12 minutes.
  2. Sheet-pan the sprouts: toss halved Brussels with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper on a sheet pan. Roast 15–18 minutes, tossing once, until browned and tender.
  3. Make citrus-dill butter: in a small bowl mix 1 tbsp softened butter, clementine zest, 2 tsp juice, dill, and half the garlic. Season with a pinch of salt.
  4. Pat trout dry; season with salt and pepper. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter. Sear trout skin-side down 3–4 minutes until skin is crisp. Flip, add remaining garlic, and spoon the garlicky butter over fish 30 seconds. Transfer skillet to oven for 5–7 minutes (depending on thickness) until just opaque.
  5. Drain potatoes; lightly smash with the back of a spoon on a tray. Drizzle with a little olive oil, season, and roast on the rack below the sprouts for 8–10 minutes to crisp.
  6. Plate: top trout with clementine-dill butter. Serve with roasted Brussels and smashed potatoes.

Health notes: Approximately 650–750 calories per serving. High in omega-3s from the trout; includes high-fiber Brussels sprouts and potassium-rich potatoes. Moderate butter; reduce to lighten.

Drink pairing: Crisp WA Riesling or Pinot Gris. Beer: Pilsner.
