When I make something really delicious, I get obsessed and will eat it everyday for months at a time. I am kind of quirky like that and yes....a creature of habit.
Speaking of creatures, you are probably wondering, "What is a Steelhead Trout?". Simply put, it is a rainbow trout that has gone to live in the ocean.
While it looks and tastes just like salmon, this fish is actually not a salmon. Instead, Steelhead, along with all trout, are part of the same 'Salmonidae' family as salmon and char. They are basically cousins.
Check out my latest recipe obsession and if you HATE cilantro because it tastes like soap, feel free to use any herb. Rosemary, basil and Herbs en Provence all work really well!
