Best 3 Baked Steelhead Troutsalmon With Apricot Salsa Recipes

BAKED STEELHEAD TROUT/SALMON WITH APRICOT SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a medium bowl, combine apricots (reserve juice), pineapple, green onions, and bell pepper.
• Sprinkle with lime juice and cilantro.
• Toss all and chill for at least one hour.
• Place trout/salmon filets in lightly greased 9x11 inch baking dish (I use butter to grease the pan).
• Cover trout with salsa.
• Gently pour reserved apricot juice over all.
• Place in oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes.

BAKED SALMON

Steps:

• In a medium glass bowl, prepare marinade by mixing garlic, light olive oil, basil, salt, pepper, lemon juice and parsley.
• Place salmon fillets in a medium glass baking dish, and cover with the marinade.
• Marinate in the refrigerator about 1 hour, turning occasionally.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place fillets in aluminum foil, cover with marinade, and seal.
• Place sealed salmon in the glass dish, and bake 35 to 45 minutes, until easily flaked with a fork.

OVEN-ROASTED TRI-TIP WITH APRICOT AND PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• Combine seasoned salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper in a small bowl.
• Pat tri-tip dry with paper towels and place on a cutting board or plate. Rub 1/2 of the spice mixture on one side of the tri-tip, and rub the remaining mixture on the other side. Drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil on one side of the tri-tip and use a pastry brush to lightly coat the surface. Flip the tri-tip and repeat with 1 teaspoon olive oil on the other side.
• Tightly wrap the seasoned tri-tip in plastic wrap, or use a zip-top bag, squeezing out as much air as possible before sealing. Place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours.
• Meanwhile, make the salsa by combining apricots, pineapple tidbits and juice, bell pepper, cilantro, jalapeno, lime juice, garlic, and salt in a non-reactive container. Seal and refrigerate at least 1 hour, or longer, if possible, since the apricots will soften over time.
• Allow tri-tip to come to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Heat remaining 4 teaspoons olive oil in an oven-proof, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Unwrap the tri-tip, and carefully place it in the hot oil. Brown each side, 3 to 4 minutes. Quickly blot any extra oil in the skillet with paper towels, held with tongs.
• Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake until tri-tip is firm but still pink, 15 to 20 minutes, or until desired doneness is achieved. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). A higher internal temperature is not recommended, as the meat will be tough.
• Remove from the oven and tent with foil, about 10 minutes. Slice into thin slices, about 1/4-inch thick, across the grain of the meat. Serve with the chilled salsa.
