Steelhead Trout with Jicama Slaw–Great Leftover!

August 11, 2017 by Bridget 1 Comment

Before I get into this lovely steelhead trout recipe, let me put this out front–

I love leftovers!

Don’t get me wrong. I hate leftovers when I must face the same dish night after night until it’s gone. You know what I’m talking about…

What I love is leftovers you can put together in interesting combinations so they don’t feel leftover. Case in point, this beautiful open faced sandwich from leftover trout. Great way to use leftover trout--post from EatRightMama.com bit.ly/2hT6tiG

Earlier this week we had friends over for fish tacos. I was inspired by jicama and had been wanting to make some sort of slaw. Warning-jicama is a bit tough to peel and slice!Jicama slaw from www.eatrightmama.com

So I grabbed some red cabbage, grated both in my food processor…It's easy to grate jicama in the food processor. Check out this recipe from www.eatrightmama.com.

Jicama and cabbage slaw--recipes on www.eatrightmama.com.http://bit.ly/2hT6tiG

Added green onion, cilantro and lemon juice (or lime) garlic, salt and pepper. 

Get the recipe for Steelhead Trout with Jicama Slaw on www.eatrightmama.com: http://bit.ly/2hT6tiG

For the fish, I didn’t have much time. I marinated it in lime, organic EVOO, garlic and dill. Grilled it in foil. Here is what we had left yesterday.

When looking for a quick late lunch idea, I grabbed a slice of French boule, toasted it and added the slaw, trout and avocado.

Top the sandwich with avocado. Recipe for Steelhead trout with Jicama Slaw on eatrightmama.com.

It was the perfect mix of flavors, restaurant worthy and DID NOT taste like leftovers.

Other ways to plate the main ingredients:

  • Layered on a baked tostada
  • Stuffed in a cucumber half
  • On a whole grain cracker like Triscuit

 

Steelhead Trout with Jicama Slaw

Trout

  • 1- 1 to 2 pound filet of Steelhead Trout
  • Lemon or Lime juice
  • Dried dill
  • Salt and pepper
  1. Marinate a 1 to 2 pound filet of steelhead trout or salmon with a combination of lemon or lime juice, olive oil, some generous shakes of dried dill, salt and pepper. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. (Small filets marinate best in a Ziploc bag. For the large piece I had I put the filet on the foil, poured the marinade on and wrapped it up.
  2. Grill wrapped in foil, 12 to 15 minutes over medium heat until fish is opaque. (I like my fish cooked medium, so I usually take it off just a bit before it’s opaque because it will continue to cook just a bit after you take it off the grill if you keep it wrapped up.

 

Jicama-Red Cabbage Slaw

  • 1 medium sized jicama, peeled and cut into once inch slices.
  • 1/2 small red cabbage, cut into 2 inch hunks suitable for putting into feeder of food processor.
  • 1/4 cup lemon or lime juice, your preference (about the juice of 1 large fruit)
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • (Note the amount of lemon/lime juice is totally flexible and according to your taste. Some like it tart, others not!)
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, finely minced or pressed in garlic press
  • 3 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1/2 to 1 bunch cilantro, finely chopped (again, according to your taste for cilantro–you can also sub parsley.
  1. Grate jicama and cabbage with grater attachment in food processor.
  2. Add green onion and cilantro to cabbage and jicama in a large bowl. Toss lightly.
  3. Mix lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper in small bowl. Add to veggie mixture. Fold gently until ingredients are well mixed. Add salt and pepper to taste if desired.

Serving Ideas

You can serve the slaw and fish separately or in tacos or as a sandwich. You could also add both ingredients to a mixed salad with sliced avocado on top.

ENJOY!
