Ingredients:
- Steelhead or trout fillets
- 1/2 gallon of water
- 1/4 cup salt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon of black pepper
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
Clean the fish and fillet. Create the brine by combining the ingredients above and slowly stir until all of the salt is dissolved. Put the fillets in the brine for 60 minutes and refrigerate.
When ready to cook, preheat the Traeger temperature to 225°F. Remove the fish from the brine and pat dry with a paper towel. Place fish directly on the Traeger grill grate for 1 ½ to 2 hours depending on the thickness. Or, use a thermometer to reach the desired temperature. The fish is done when it turns opaque and starts to flake. Best if served hot!
This will be one of the best tasting trout you ever had.
