Made this recipe this evening and it was wonderful. It was the first time I've made Steelhead Trout. I thought it was miss labeled at the store and that it was wild salmon. When I got home I looked it up online and found it was accurately labeled. Much to my surprise, I liked it much better than salmon and my SO couldn't stop licking his lips. It did modify the cooking a bit. I prepared a foil pan and cooked it on the grill for about 12 minutes otherwise followed the recipe to a T. It came out moist and very tasty. Now one of my new fish favorites. Most definitely a keeper.

This was a very easy and good recipe for dinner. I squeezed a bit of fresh lemon over the fish before serving. Didn't have fresh rosemary on hand, so I used dried. Still - a nice recipe. Thanks for sharing!

I made this fish dish for dinner and it was delicious! I had leftovers because my husband won't eat fish so I made a little lemon, rosemary, garlic & parmesan vinegrette. I flaked the fish and tossed it with angel hair pasta, sundried tomatoes and green olives stuffed with feta cheese. Delicious fish for both nights! This recipe is definitely a keeper. :)
