Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 1 3-4 lb steelhead trout*
- white wine
- water
- 1 thinly sliced English cucumber
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
- For ease in handling, wrap the whole fish in cheesecloth.
- Add sliced onions and lemons to the bottom of the fish poacher or large skillet.
- Place fish on top of onions and lemons.
- Pour any amount of white wine over fish, then add enough water to cover about 1 inch above the fish.
- Bring the liquid to boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover. Poach for about 15 minutes until fish will flake when you put a fork to the end of it. The thicker the fish, the longer it will take.
- Refrigerate. Garnish with cucumbers and limes just before serving.
Notes
*Steelhead is a trout that behaves like a salmon.
