Grilled Steelhead with Heirloom Tomato
Grilled Steelhead recipe with heirloom tomatoes is made with a cashew pesto, grilled to perfection for the ultimate summer meal.
Ingredients
- 2-2.5 pound steelhead filet, we buy at Costco
- 2 medium heirloom tomatoes
- ½ cup finely ground cashews
- ¼ plus 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 large bunch fresh basil
- 1 tsp. pepper
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. honey
- 3 tsp. garlic
- 3 tsp. lemon juice
Instructions
- Wash and dry steelhead. Layer two sheets of foil together, large enough for the steelhead fillet, and fold up the sides. Place fillet on foil.
- To make the pesto, in a food processor, combine basil, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, honey, and lemon. Process until smooth. Add in finely ground cashews and continue to blend until smooth.
- Spread pesto evenly on fish. Slice tomatoes and place on top.
- Barbecue or bake in oven. Cooking time will depend on thickness of fillet. Use the back of a spatula method to see if fish is done. (Press on the fish using the back of a spatula. If fish is firm, then it is done. If it is spongy, you need to keep cooking it.)
