Ingredients

• 2 pieces (6 oz each) Steelhead trout fillet
• 0.25 cup Bourbon
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 clove Fresh garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, sliced

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the bourbon, maple syrup, soy sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the steelhead trout fillets in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let the fish marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 4

Remove the trout fillets from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake the trout in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.

Step 6

While the trout is baking, transfer the leftover marinade to a small saucepan. Bring the marinade to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 5–7 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly. This will serve as a glaze for the fish.

Step 7

When the trout is cooked, remove it from the oven and drizzle the thickened glaze over the top.

Step 8

Garnish the trout with chopped fresh parsley and sliced green onions before serving.

Step 9

Serve the bourbon steelhead trout hot with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad.
