If I had the skills (and the time) it would be fun to finish this up as an ornament and have a Spring Ornament tree.
For Tuesday Garden Party I thought I'd share some Oregon Seasonal Foods.
My cousin, a passionate fisherman, gifted me with a large side of Steelhead. I am a terrible Oregonian, as I'd never eaten Steelhead until just last summer. Nor did I know anything about them.
Since then, I've discovered that Steelhead are sea run Rainbow Trout who return to fresh water to spawn after 2-3 years at sea. They are sometimes called salmon trout. I've also discovered that I love the taste of Steelhead!
I cleaned the fish, sprinkled garlic salt and pepper, packed some brown sugar on top with a dollop of butter, and baked in the oven. Steelhead is the same color as salmon, but has a much milder taste. Very yummy!
And in keeping with eating locally, I had Tillamook Mudslide ice cream for dessert - Chocolate ice cream with fudge pieces and a thick fudge ripple. Again yummy!
Oh I might have to go and dig my pattern out that turned out so cute,,and wow I didnt know about steelhead either my husband would love it as it loves salmon..thanks for sharing..
