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.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Add a small splash of veg oil to a large pan on medium-high heat. Dump in the corn and let fry for 2 minutes or so. You want to warm the corn and toast it slightly without bringing out the starch. Transfer the corn to a medium bowl containing the shallot.

Add the jalapeno, tomatoes, cilantro, a tiny splash of extra virgin olive oil, a dash of salt and several grinds of black pepper to the bowl of corn. Stir in a few tbsp lime juice. Taste, then add more lime juice and seasoning as desired. Cover and refrigerate to let the flavours meld.

In a small bowl, whisk 2 tbsp lime juice and a small pinch of salt into the yogurt. Still whisking, add the milk a tbsp at a time until the yogurt is just runny enough to drizzle without being totally runny. Don't use all the milk if you don't have to. Give it a taste, and add more lime or salt as needed. Cover and refrigerate.

Wipe clean the pan you used earlier and put it on medium-high heat. Add a splash of veg oil. Cut the trout into 3 or 4 pieces about 5 cm wide, and season with salt and pepper. Sear the trout for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve immediately, topped with a generous helping of the salsa and a drizzle of the lime cream.

This is a very easy dish to prepare. Using the “cedar plank” method on the grill ensures a very moist piece of salmon fillet. It’s been said that the Native American Indians used this cooking method long ago. Topping the fillets with salsa gives it enriched flavor, color, and added moisture.
