Method

For the Grilled Steelhead Trout

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Trout

    Place the steelhead trout fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Grill the Trout

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated trout skin-side down for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flaky.

For the Roasted Butternut Squash

  1. 4

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 5

    Season the Squash

    In a large bowl, toss the diced butternut squash with olive oil, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly coated.

  3. 6

    Roast the Squash

    Spread the squash in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until tender and caramelized.

For the Sriracha Yogurt

  1. 7

    Prepare the Sriracha Yogurt

    In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, Sriracha sauce, and lime juice. Mix well until smooth.

For the Pickled Red Onion

  1. 8

    Make the Pickling Liquid

    In a saucepan, combine apple cider vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.

  2. 9

    Pickle the Onions

    Place the thinly sliced red onions in a jar and pour the hot pickling liquid over them. Let them sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving.

For the Pepitas

  1. 10

    Toast the Pepitas

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, add pepitas and olive oil. Toast for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and fragrant. Season with salt.
