This is one of my favorite ways to make salmon. You can also do steelhead trout this way. Have you tried steelhead trout? If you like salmon, you'll love that fish, too. One of my favorites. Elisa A. Schmitz 30Seconds

Yes, I love steelhead trout! Thank you for reminding me of it. Such a great option that I don't think of as often (salmon is my go-to fish).
