Ingredients
- Fresh Steelhead Trout Fillet 1 lb $13.99/lb
- Fresh Green Asparagus 1 lb $1.99/lb
- Private Selection® Petite Gold Gourmet Potatoes 1.5 lb $3.99
- Garlic 2 cloves $1.50
- Kroger® Fresh Lemons Bag 1 lemon $4.99
- Parsley 2 tbsp $1.69
- Butter 4 tbsp
- Olive oil 2 tbsp
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Halve the petite gold potatoes if large. Boil in salted water for 12 to 15 minutes until just tender, then drain.
- Transfer potatoes to a sheet pan, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and gently crush. Roast for 18 to 20 minutes until crisp-edged.
- Trim the asparagus and toss with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add to the oven during the last 10 to 12 minutes of roasting until tender and lightly caramelized.
- Pat the steelhead dry and cut into 2 equal portions. Season with salt, pepper, and a little lemon zest.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steelhead skin-side down first if skin-on, for 4 minutes, then flip and cook 2 to 3 minutes more until just cooked through.
- Lower heat. Add butter and minced garlic to the skillet; swirl until glossy, then add lemon juice and chopped parsley.
- Plate the crushed potatoes as the base, arrange asparagus to the side, set steelhead on top, and spoon the lemon-herb butter over everything.

Health notes: High in protein and omega-3s; balanced with spring asparagus and potatoes. Moderately rich from butter sauce.
Drink pairing: A vibrant Chardonnay or dry Pinot Gris complements the rich trout and lemon butter beautifully.
