For best results, use fresh, high-quality steelhead trout fillets. Don't overcook the trout, as it will become dry. It's done when it flakes easily with a fork. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your desired level of heat. Feel free to experiment with different types of barbecue sauce to find your favorite flavor combination. If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can bake the trout in the oven at 400°F for about 12-15 minutes.
