Steelhead has firm, moist flesh and a clean, moderately rich flavor. Its red-orange flesh and cooking versatility often lead shoppers to compare it with salmon, but biologically it is trout.

How to Cook Steelhead
Whole Steelhead can be filleted or portioned before grilling, roasting, broiling or pan-searing. For a conservative home food-safety target, cook finfish to 145°F at the thickest edible part.
