Steelhead Trout with Fennel and Zucchini

Summertime is a great time to enjoy fish. It cooks quickly, doesn’t need long marinating times, and is a light meal that can be made on the stove or the barbecue. It can even be served raw.


Albertans primarily rely on flash-frozen seafood choices. Processed and frozen within hours of catch, preserves its peak nutritional value and texture. Locally sourced seafood is limited to fishes such as pickerel, whitefish, and rainbow trout. 


Pickerel is a versatile, mild, flaky white fish which would be great in the “Summer Fish Puttanesca”. Lake whitefish has a higher natural fat content that gives it a rich, buttery taste and could be a great substitution if you can’t find trout in the “Steelhead Trout with Fennel and Zucchini”. Salmon would also be a complementary fish to use.


The hardest part about adding seafood to your summer meals is remembering to take it out of the freezer to thaw in time for dinner.

I liked the tip about using lake whitefish or salmon if you can't find trout. I was actually looking up substitutes on Graveyard Keeper 2 Wiki when I found your article. Thawing the fish is always the part I forget too.
