This is really yummy - not overpoweringly mustardy! And, after all, any recipe that begins with white wine has to be good! It's not oily or buttery or anything. I've made it with salmon, and it's equally tasty.

Steelhead Trout Bake with Dijon Mustard

cooking spray

steelhead trout fillets

dry white wine

Dijon mustard

garlic, pressed

lemon juice

dill weed

lemon-pepper seasoning

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.


Arrange trout fillets in the baking dish. Mix white wine, Dijon mustard, garlic, lemon juice, dill, and lemon-pepper seasoning in a bowl; spread over the fillets, letting some run underneath the fish.


Bake in the preheated oven until the fish is opaque and flakes easily, 10 to 15 minutes.


I really liked this quick, zesty dish. I had all the ingredients in the house, whipped it together and had a healthy meal. I love that it doesn't require butter or oil to have a great flavor. I used it on a combination of salmon, pollack, and flounder. I had to sub the dijon mustard for Cleveland stadium mustard, which is on the spicier side, with good results.

I made this dish for dinner today, and it was delicious.  It was easy to prepare and cook.  I served it with steamed cauliflower and a salad of baby spinach, arugula, butter lettuce, tomato and avocado, and, of course, a glass of pinot grigio  wine.

This one went to my recipe box.

OMG! I have made this three times now and every time my husband raves about the flavor and tenderness of the fish. I have to admit that it is my favorite fish recipe too.  Maybe my favorite dinner recipe ever!  I substituted chicken broth for the wine and Mrs. Dash Original seasoning because I was out of dill. The sauce pairs well with any mild flavored fish but melds with  steelhead or salmon in an exceptional way! Two forks up!

This fish was excellent but the topper was nothing special. I did not have lemon or lemon pepper.. plus I added a tablespoon of Mayonnaise because of everyone saying how overpowering the dijon was. I would have probably went up to a 4 with the addition of lemon.

My husband really liked the sauce, but I don't think any of us were crazy about the steelhead trout.  It's a very firm textured fish, and I don't think I over-cooked it, but it still seemed a bit dry.  The sauce might be really good on salmon, which we all love.  I doubled the sauce recipe since I was using 24 oz. of fish.  UPDATE 5/2/16 - Doubled sauce again, using 1.3 lbs. of fish.  Felt it was fairly heavy on the dijon mustard BUT the fish was so moist/tender this time - not at all the firm texture, or dry, as I said from last time.  Maybe I did overcook it then.  Will be trying steelhead trout again, maybe with a different recipe.

This was delicious. I served it with Israeli couscous, steamed asparagus and slow roasted tomatoes.

Made as is. Very good! Tangy. Nothing was overpowering in my opinion.

Wow....this was an amazing recipe.  Very tender and full of flavor!  Made it exactly as shown!

I used a 2.25lb fillet with skin. I foiled the bottom of my pan then poured half the sauce into the pan, put the fillet down skin side up. Kind of rolled the foil so the juices would stay under ther fillet , yet left the top open. Baked it 10 min. Took it out, discarded the skin, and poured the rest of the sauce on it. Broiled another 10 min. Served over thyme and rosemary herbed rice, with a side of lemon.  Additional sides of black eyed peas and brussel sprouts sauteed with onion and turkey bacon. Thank you! This was so good.
(I didn't have the wine so I subbed it for a mix of water and white vinegar, half of each. Worked great! Also did 3Tbl of Dijon, mine was made with Chardonnay. )

This recipe was easy to put together and melt in your mouth delicious!  Will make this over and over again.

The best trout we've ever eaten.  Delicious and easy to prepare.

Quick and easy to make. Tasted great. Rocked my sock with little effort. Will definitely use this again.

Followed directions exactly and turned out perfectly. Cooked for 15 minutes. Moist and delicious. Made for a dinner party and it’s an easy, yet impressive looking and tasting dish.

Served to "foodie" company who loved it as much as my wife and I.  Made per recipe with two minor exceptions: cooked on grill instead of in oven and grilled on bed of lemon slices to keep skin off grill and prevent sticking.  Perfection. Delicious, simple yet impressive.  Served with roasted veggies and green salad.  Will definitely use recipe again...cheers!

My husband and I both loved this - I followed recipe exactly and it wasn't overpowering, we thought it was just right, not heavy and lots of flavor.  Nice that it didn't need mayo or butter!

The key here is: fresh steelhead.  We loved it, because we had fresh fish.

No fishy taste at all. Yes, you taste the mustard and dill; cut back a little if you don't like either one. BUT DO NOT OMIT!
I made this according to the ingredients posted. The lemon is important.  I keep dehydrated on hand with my spices; It reconstitutes with the wine.  I had it with a Caesar salad.

I would use this as a company dinner dish !!

Simple ingredients for a top notch flavor. I will be making this  on a regular basis. Incredible flavor, big hit in my house.

I made it exactly as the recipe stated. It was excellent, my family loved it.  I served  it with roasted sweet potato rounds and a Caesar salad.  I will definitely make this again.

My husband loved this recipe, said it is company worthy. Will make again. Made exactly as published.

Made exactly as described. Nice change for a fish meal. We usually eat salmon but trout is also on the good fish list so this will be a keeper because I am getting tired of salmon every week.

We call it rainbow trout in Ontario, Canada.  I followed the receipe.  Interestingly my husband did not taste the mustard until I mentioned it.  He thought it was a real winner.  I agree.

Fabulous!  I do trout or Atlantic Salmon with this recipe. My wife would eat this every night, and she is a very picky,health conscious eater.

This is easy and great tasting! The mustard sauce is not overpowering.

I  liked the  simplicity in preparing this fish.  The flavor combined with the low carb ingredients  make this one a keeper.  Yummy!

This was really delicious! The mustard was key. We get a lot of steelhead because both my son and my husband love to fish for them. We'll be using this delectable, simple recipe many more times! Thank you very much.

This was good. Very easy to make with stuff I had in the pantry. I didn't have lemon pepper but I put in fresh lemon zest and some fresh ground pepper. I made it with one large 1 lb fillet of trout. I would make it again.

Definitely will make again.  The Dijon is not overpowering at all. Really easy healthy protein option:-)

Fantastic!  2 adults and 4 kids all enjoyed this recipe.

Made this tonight and followed the recipe exactly.  It was fantastic.  The tartness of the lemon and Dijon was so good with the fish.  Served it with some roasted turnips, carrots and Brussels Sprouts.  What a fantastic meal.

Did not make any changes.  Will make this again and serve to my company.....easy and very very tasty.....yummmmm

This was easy and delicious! Definitely will make it again!!

I will make this dish again! Did not change a thing with this recipe &amp; it turned out absolutely delicious!! 
And so easy to make with ingredients I had on hand anyways!

This was very tasty! I had a thicker cut of trout so I baked it for 20 minutes instead. It was perfect. We will definitely be having this again!

The sauce is tasty but too runny. I will try reducing it next time.

Quick and delicious!  Added a little olive oil to give the sauce a little more body, but other than that, the recipe as written was great!

Made exactly as written. Used Grey Poupon brand dijon mustard. Amazing result! I can't believe I've been drowning trout in butter all this time. Never again! This is much better.

I loved the simplicity of this recipe. I had everything on hand and dinner was ready in no time! I followed the recipe exactly as written. We had never tried steelhead trout before, but Aldi carries it fresh, so I thought we would give it a try. We were delighted with the fish and the recipe!

My husband made this on the grill tonight. We both thought the sauce was nice and mild and complemented the fish nicely. We did use shallot pepper because we were out of lemon pepper. Keeper!

This is a delicious, very easy dish.    Company worthy!!  My husband loved it the first time I fixed it and he has requested it several times since!!

I was impressed it was so good for the limited ingredients and prep time. Easy, fast, awesome.

A very tasty quick and easy main dish.  Made the recipe as written.

Excellent!  I would not change a thing.   I doubled the recipe since I had a generous amount of trout.  If i had not been the one that prepared this, I would have sworn the sauce had butter in it or something.  So creamy and delicious and I can see using that on future seafood and poultry dishes.  Thanks for a great new favorite!!

I cook with steelhead when ever I see it on sale and I favor it over salmon.  I use lemon pepper with fish a lot, so I gave this a try and really enjoyed it.  I am a huge fan of Lemon pepper, so decide to use it as a rub and then poured the mixture minus lemon pepper.  This change was not over powering to me, but it could be to others.

Thanks for a nice quick dish with little clean-up after.

Was good. The Dijon wasn't overpowering which I was concerned about. Easy to make.

I will  be making  this again  This enhanced  fish but did not overpower it. Delish!

I followed the recipe exactly, and it was amazing!!!

I've done this recipe now with both trout and salmon and it was DELICIOUS!!!  It's also wonderful with whole grain dijon mustard.

I followed the recipe, mostly.  I do not measure anything.  I just eyeball it.  It turned out wonderful! I will definitely make this again.

Fabulous.  I had to use red wine and I used it on salmon instead of steelhead (they're very similar)but otherwise followed it exactly as written. We will use this frequently.
Thanks Nora!!

This was very good and extremely easy. I added it to my favorites. I had a guest who avoids alcohol so I substituted chicken stock and increased the lemon by half. Also didn't have lemon pepper, so added fresh ground pepper instead. Used full amounts of dill and Dijon. Perfect, but I'll use the wine next time I make it.

I made it according to the recipe.  My husband loved it!  For me, I might cut the Dijon a little and the dill back a bit, but we will definitely have this again.

My husband loved it and I did also.  In fact, it was the second time I tried this and will definitely continue using it.

too much dijon - it overpowered the dish. still good but would have been great with less mustard.

Delicious and easy to make.  Tastes great on salmon also.

It took mine longer to cook. I had two skin on filets. Took 25 minutes to cook. It was amazing. I didn’t have enough Dijon mustard so I made the marinade and did not include the dill weed or the Dijon mustard. I spread the Dijon mustard on each filet and then put the marinade on top. It was so good!

This was definitely easy to make and was flavorful. I don't like food too lemony, so I left out the lemon, figuring the lemon pepper was enough. I agree that the mustard isn't overpowering, giving it just enough flavor.

I made this for dinner tonight and it was fantastic!  I did add some lemon-olive oil to the other ingredients.  I'll definitely be making this agian.

I have made this recipe at least 20 times.  My kids love it (2,4, and 6) my husband loves it. I've made it for dinner parties and weeknight dinners.  

They have Steelhead fairly inexpensively at Costco most of the time.  I just use one big piece instead of the fillets as recommended, mostly because I'm lazy.    

This is the BEST!!

I really enjoyed the flavor profiles and I substituted Salmon for Steelhead. My husband that doesn't really like Salmon, even said it was good.

I had 2lbs of trout. I used 1/4 c white wine, 4 tbsp Dijon, 2 tsp dill, 2 tsp garlic parmesan seasoning, 2 tbsp lemon juice.  I spread it over then salt and peppered the fish.  Baked 15 minutes at 400 and it came out perfect!  My husband said it was the best fish he's ever had.

A bit of too much mustard for the taste. For every 2 1/2 tbsp of dijon mustard, use half of that for mayo instead

I have made steelhead trout many times, but never with this sauce on it. Absolutely delicious. Family members went nuts over it. Made it as written.

Very tasty! I had to bake mine longer since it was still half frozen, but it turned out fine.

It was a nice, easy recipe and my fish ended up being very tender and flavorful. I didn't have lemon black pepper, so I added normal black pepper and some coriander. I also didn't have dijon, so I used regular mustard plus honey instead. I used freeze dried dill and barely tasted it unfortunately.

In the end, for my tastes, the sauce should have been either be sweeter or spicier to be good on its own, but I paired it with beet tops sauteed with garlic, lemon, and chili pepper - which worked pretty well.

I love this recipe, it's so easy and the fish always comes out perfect. I've even subbed spicy brown mustard for the dijon before.

Ok - not stupendous.  I really like dijon. I love trout. Together... I wasn't as thrilled as I hoped I'd be.

I typically don't  make sauces for fish but this one looked interesting.  It was amazing!  I followed the advice of others and used a combination of Dijon mustard and mayonnaise.   I didn't have lemon pepper so I used pepper and grated lemon zest.  The lemon zest added a wonderful touch.  Also, I don't like dried dill and didn't have fresh on hand so I omitted. This was incredibly moist and will definitely make it again.

Quick and easy to make in the oven or on the bbq. I had fresh dill in the freezer and used that instead of dry. Paired with roasted parmesan cauliflower, Green beans and the dry white wine  of course!

Loved this sauce. I used it on catfish since trout was not available and, since I’m not a fan of lemon, used rotisserie chicken seasoning instead of lemon-pepper seasoning.  Will definitely make again!

Super easy and family really liked it. I used chicken stock b/c that is what I had. For us in the future, I will definitely lessen the dill and probably a bit of the mustard (I couldn't tell which was overpowering it but I think it was the dill) but otherwise its great. I doubled the recipe for everything except the dill and mustard, based on other reviews, and I'm glad I did that or it would have been way too much. I had a large trout from Sam's Club and I followed another review by pouring 1/2 the sauce in my pan, putting the trout down with the skin up, cooked for 10 minutes, peeled off the skin, poured the rest of the sauce on top, cooked another 10 minutes or so, then served it up! Super moist and yummy!

Sorry but we weren't impressed at all.  We love steelhead trout and normally grill it on a cedar plank but we didnt' have any planks so we tried this.  It was very bland.  Sorry not a keeper for us.

This was an amazing recipe.  I did not have white wine so did not add that and added a couple other spices.  I highly recommend.

Delicious!  I only used 3/4 of the dijon and added the remaining 1/4 as mayonnaise, turned out great!!

It was good nd moist, Left out the wine though but still very flavorful. Nice change!

My family loved it!  I did add salt (I’m a salty girl!). The Dijon was over powering, but next time I will add a 1/2 cup of wine to also add more liquid to serve over rice.   Overall, my husband said it was a recipe to keep!

Lovely recipe - and quick and simple to prepare.

Not bad, I did add a little mayo like all the reviewers suggested and used chicken broth instead of wine.  Also, laid the fillets over a bed of spinach.

I followed this recipe to a T and it was delicious!  This will be a “go to” recipe for us.  My husband loved it too!

Used Olive oil instead of cooking spray, replaced lemon pepper with chilli flakes.

First time I didn't have lemon so used more mustard.  Still turned out well.  Second time I had everything.  We love it.  Will definitely make again and plan to try it with salmon.

I was not impressed with this at all.  The dijon was too overpowering to the (to me) delicate steelhead flavor.  A waste of perfectly good steehead filets.

This recipe was quick, easy and very tasty! The fish was moist and flavorful. The sauce was just right. It didn’t overpower the flavor of the fish and complimented it nicely. I will definitely be hanging onto this recipe for the future and will try it out on other types of fish as well. Thanks for sharing!

Didn't have lemon pepper. Used white pepper and lemon zest, otherwise followed recipe. This fish is better more simply dressed.
