Costco's fresh steelhead fillet is a farm-raised, boneless salmon fillet sold by the pound, available in the Fresh Meat and Seafood department. The fish is never frozen and arrives with the skin on, making it ideal for grilling, baking, or pan-searing. Steelhead is closely related to rainbow trout and shares many characteristics with Atlantic salmon, offering a mild, rich flavor with a firm, flaky texture and a vibrant pinkish-orange color.

Farm-raised steelhead is prized for its high content of omega-3 fatty acids, lean protein, and essential vitamins and minerals. The skin-on fillet is well-suited for grilling directly on the grill grates or baking on a sheet pan, and the large portions can easily be cut into individual servings and frozen at home for later use. It pairs well with simple seasonings such as lemon pepper, garlic, or buttery herb blends.
