Pan-seared steelhead trout with corn salsa and lime cream Pan-seared steelhead trout with corn salsa and lime cream
I really wanted salmon for dinner. I already had the dish planned in my head when I drove to the supermarket to pick up the ingredients. But then, of course, stupid Murphy and his law had to get in the way. The store didn't have a great selection of salmon. But they did have really good looking steelhead trout. So it was on to Plan B. Truth be told, steelhead is not one of my favourite fishes. It's a little light both in flavour and in richness. It needs help. That's where the sweet and spicy corn salsa topper came in. Instant flavour boost. And for added richness, a bright lime cream drizzle. As far as Plan B's go, it came out really amazing.

Chili Lime Coconut Salmon Chili Lime Coconut Salmon
A few years ago my wife went paleo for a bit, which of course meant I went paleo, too. The best part of the experience was a recipe for chili lime chicken wings from Nom Nom Paleo. It's fantastic, please check it out. Anyway, I adapted the recipe to make this dish. I used salmon because its flavour holds up to the punchy sauce. It's not paleo, but it's still good. -

The star of this leftover wonder is the salsa. I was just hungry for fresh. Fresh something. I had a small pineapple from my yard and some jalapeño from our pepper plants. I was trying to use up things that were going south. So we fired up the grill and had a feast.
