MY STEELHEAD TROUT WITH BLACK BEAN-CORN SALSA AND AVOCADO

I was somewhat surprised when I thought I purchased my regular salmon. I didn’t notice any difference until I came home and read the packing label; it was fresh steelhead trout. Seriously? So, I Google it to get more clarification. Steelhead is not salmon. Steelhead start its life out as a Rainbow trout in freshwater. If the Rainbow trout migrates to the ocean, it becomes Steelhead. So what, I didn’t purchase my regular good old boy salmon. Despite the fact that the skin was more pink and the flavor was stronger, I can’t complaint. I did like it and so will you.
