A different steelhead approach: broiled with a savory mustard-herb crust and served with quick sautéed asparagus and blistered cherry tomatoes. It stays spring-forward for Washington in late March, avoids the salad and relish formats you passed on, and keeps the flavor profile clean and punchy.

Ingredients
- Fresh Steelhead Trout Fillet 1 lb already have
- Green Asparagus 1/2 lb, trimmed 5.99
- Private Selection™ Fresh Petite Cherry Snacking Tomatoes 10 oz 3.50
- Parsley 2 tablespoons, finely chopped 1.69
- Kroger® Fresh Diced Garlic 1 teaspoon 3.49
- Pompeii® Lemon Juice 1 tablespoon 2.50
- pantry Dijon mustard 1 1/2 tablespoons
- pantry breadcrumbs 2 tablespoons
- pantry olive oil 2 tablespoons
- pantry salt to taste
- pantry black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Set the oven to broil and position a rack about 6 inches from the heat. Pat the steelhead dry and place it on a foil-lined sheet pan. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, garlic, breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice into a spreadable paste.
- Spread the mustard-herb mixture over the top of the steelhead.
- Toss the cherry tomatoes with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper and place them on the pan beside the fish if there is room, or on a second small pan.
- Broil the steelhead for 7 to 10 minutes, depending on thickness, until the topping is browned and the fish flakes easily. Broil the tomatoes until blistered, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus and sauté 3 to 5 minutes until bright green and just tender. Season with salt, pepper, and the remaining lemon juice.
- Serve the steelhead with the asparagus and blistered tomatoes alongside.
