Steelhead
DID YOU KNOW?
Steelhead can live on average 5-7 years and spawn each year where salmon die after spawning.
Yep, Steelhead go the ocean and can stay out there for years before returning to the rivers to spawn. Fisherman often call this “salting.” “This fish salted 3 times before I caught it.”

Steelhead is not a Salmon
When it comes to cooking steelhead you definitely don’t want to overcook it. It’s not fatty like salmon is and can overcook really quick. One of my favorite ways to make steelhead is using a marinade of preferred cooking oil mixed with orange juice and lemon juice parsley salt and pepper.
