Baked Steelhead Trout

Recently, I came across steelhead trout at my grocery store. It looks just like salmon and tastes basically just like salmon, but according to freshmcl.com, steelhead trout is a variety of rainbow trout.
I found it to be quite delicious. I paired it with this summer squash & zucchini casserole that I posted not long ago. Check your local grocery stores for this tasty fish and give this simple but delicious recipe a try.
