Grilled Steelhead Fish Fillet
Ingredients
- 1 Steelhead Fish Fillet ( 1 LB - cut into 3 or 4 sections )
- 2 Teaspoons Malibu Seasoning ( 1 teaspoon for each side of the fish )
- 12 Garlic Cloves ( Crushed )
- 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Butter ( Split )
Instructions
- Crush the garlic cloves with the back of a knife.
- Cut the fish fillet into 3 or 4 sections. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of the Malibu seasoning onto the fish fillet.
- Then turn the fish fillet over and do the same to the other side.
- Heat the grill pan on medium-high heat and evenly coat the bottom of the pan with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan.
- Let the butter melt then toss in the crushed garlic cloves. Move the garlic around in the pan until they are fragrant.
- Then lay the fish fillets onto the pan SKIN SIDE DOWN first. Brush a little bit more oil onto the bottom of the pan to prevent the pan from becoming dry. Cook the fish fillets for about 1-2 minutes until the skin is browned and crispy.
- To prevent the garlic from burning you can place the garlic cloves on top of the fish fillets or move them to the side of the pan. At any point should the garlic cloves get too browned you can just simply take them out of the pan and set them aside.
- Flip the fish over and immediately reduce the heat to MEDIUM . Also add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan .
- Then brush the melted butter evenly around the bottom of the pan. Cook the fish fillets for 3 to 5 minutes or until browned. Cooking time will vary with each piece of fillet depending on its thickness.
- The fish is done cooking when it easily flakes with a fork.
- Serve with rice and a side of grilled vegetables.
Notes
If you would like to make this recipe healthier you can always substitute the vegetable oil with olive oil and just omit the butter. The steelhead fish was purchased at Costco.
