Columbia River steelhead trout is delicious. In Portland, you can get fresh (never frozen) filet from Safeway or Freddy’s. Baked it at 375 degrees for 15 minutes, with just sea salt, lemon pepper, and oil on top; and it is perfect. Delicious — moist, buttery, similar in taste to salmon, but more delicate. Certainly better than the sockeye salmon I had yesterday, which wasn’t bad. Easy to cook. Regular price at Safeway is $11.99/lb. and Freddy’s is $8.99; but both run sales at $5.99/lb.
