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.

This recipe looks perfect for those hot summer nights when you just want something light and fast on the table. I really appreciate the tip about locally sourced options like pickerel or whitefish — being in Alberta, I often default to the same frozen salmon, so it's nice to have a taste comparison to mix things up. Speaking of quick summer habits, the hardest part for me is always remembering to thaw the fish too, which is why I keep a mental checklist for my evening routine, similar to how I track the daily answers on krillion before I unwind. Definitely adding this one to the rotation while the zucchini is still in season!

Drive Mad has that easy-to-start, hard-to-master feeling. I usually replay a level a few times just to find a smoother way across the obstacles.

Another reason foodle works so well is its quick format. You do not need an entire afternoon to enjoy it. A short round can provide enough challenge to wake up your brain without turning gaming into a full-time job.
