Lemon Dill Steelhead with Chopped Salad



This lemon dill steelhead is the kind of simple meal that feels effortlessly put together. The fish is roasted with olive oil and lemon zest, then finished with a bright dill drizzle that brings everything to life. Paired with a crisp, finely chopped salad tossed in a light lemon dressing, it’s fresh, satisfying, and full of flavor without feeling heavy. If you haven’t tried steelhead before, it’s usually easy to find in the freezer case near the salmon at most grocery stores. It’s very similar to salmon, but a little lighter and more delicate in flavor—perfect for a simple, fresh meal like this.
