Steelhead Trout Piccata Recipe Delicious steelhead trout piccata recipe with flavorful and tangy piccata sauce.

Posted Dec 12, 2015 · by Patty Dinner ·

I first fell in love with piccata at my parents’ favorite restaurant, a little Italian place called Dinero’s. They used to go there on many Friday nights when they were dating and took me and my four sisters there on special occasions. When I was old enough to order from the regular menu (a big deal for me, I was perpetually offered the kids menu by servers until I was about 17 years old much to my frustration), my mother suggested I try the chicken piccata. That’s the night I fell in love with lemon & capers!

This piccata sauce is so flavorful and tangy, it pairs well with chicken or fish over pasta. I have tried it with various white fish and salmon. My most recent experiment was with steelhead trout and it was delicious. So that’s how this steelhead trout piccata recipe came to be. All of the above also pair well with a nice glass of Sauvignon Blanc, Kim Crawford and Oyster Bay are my personal favorites! 😉

The final served steelhead trout piccata!

Notes

I tend to go heavy on the capers! There can be some taste preference with those.
