Broiled Grapefruit-Glazed Steelhead with Grapefruit-Avocado Winter Salad

Broiled steelhead with a grapefruit-brown sugar glaze, plus a crunchy grapefruit-avocado salad. Bright, wintery, and very Washington-friendly.

Ingredients

  • Fresh Steelhead Trout Fillet 12 oz (about 2 portions) $8.99 sale (1 lb)
  • Fresh Large Ruby Red Grapefruit - Each 1 grapefruit (zest optional; juice + segments) $2.49/lb (each)
  • Kroger® Whole Garlic Bulbs 2 cloves, minced $2.49 (5 ct)
  • Olive oil 2 Tbsp, divided
  • Brown sugar or honey 1–2 Tbsp (to taste)
  • Soy sauce (optional) 1 tsp (adds savory balance)
  • Salt & black pepper To taste
  • Fresh Large Ripe Avocado 1 avocado, sliced $2.50 sale (each)
  • Simple Truth Organic® Baby Spring Mix 3–4 packed cups $3.00 sale (5 oz)
  • Mint (optional) 1–2 Tbsp, chopped (or skip) $1.29 (1 ct)

Instructions

  1. Heat broiler to HIGH. Line a sheet pan with foil; oil it lightly.
  2. Make the glaze: juice half the grapefruit (about 3 Tbsp). In a small bowl mix grapefruit juice + 1–2 Tbsp brown sugar/honey + 1 Tbsp olive oil + minced garlic + 1 tsp soy (optional) + pinch of salt + black pepper.
  3. Broil the fish: place steelhead skin-side down on the pan. Brush with glaze. Broil 6–10 minutes (depending on thickness) until it flakes easily and glaze bubbles and slightly caramelizes. Brush once more halfway through.
  4. Segment the grapefruit: cut peel/pith off the remaining grapefruit half; cut between membranes to release segments. Squeeze any leftover juice into a bowl for dressing.
  5. Salad: toss spring mix with 1 Tbsp olive oil + 1–2 Tbsp grapefruit juice (from segmenting) + pinch of salt + pepper. Top with avocado slices and grapefruit segments. Add chopped mint if using.
  6. Serve: plate broiled steelhead with the grapefruit-avocado salad. Spoon any pan juices over the fish.

Health notes: ~650–800 calories per serving, high protein + omega-3s; keep lighter by using less sugar in the glaze.

Drink pairing: Dry Riesling or Sauvignon Blanc (citrus + herbal notes match grapefruit well).

Stovetop Chicken with Grapefruit Pan Sauce + Sautéed Green Beans

A quick stovetop chicken with a bright grapefruit pan sauce, served alongside sautéed green beans. Weeknight-fast but feels special.

Ingredients

  • Boneless Skinless Fresh Chicken Breast 12 oz (2 small breasts or 1 large butterflied) $8.99 regular (1 lb)
  • Fresh Large Ruby Red Grapefruit - Each 1 grapefruit (juice + a few supremes optional) $2.49/lb (each)

  • Salt & black pepper To taste
  • Kroger® Green Beans 12 oz, trimmed $4.49 (12 oz)
  • Honey or brown sugar (optional) 1 tsp (if grapefruit is very tart)

Instructions

  1. Prep: zest grapefruit if you want extra aroma. Juice it (you need ~1/3 cup).
  2. Cook chicken: season chicken with salt/pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Sear chicken 4–6 min per side until cooked through (165°F). Transfer to a plate.
  3. Build sauce: lower heat to medium. Add butter, sliced onion, and a pinch of salt; cook 3–4 min until softened. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds.
  4. Deglaze: add grapefruit juice + 1/2 cup broth. Simmer 3–5 minutes until slightly reduced. Taste—add 1 tsp honey/brown sugar if needed and adjust salt/pepper.
  5. Finish: return chicken to pan and spoon sauce over it for 1–2 minutes to warm through.
  6. Green beans (stove): in a second skillet (or after chicken), sauté green beans with a splash of water and pinch of salt 5–7 minutes until crisp-tender.
  7. Serve chicken with grapefruit pan sauce and green beans.

Health notes: ~600–750 calories per serving; adjust by using less butter and more broth in the sauce.

Drink pairing: Pinot Gris or unoaked Chardonnay; a citrusy wheat beer also works.

Grilled Grapefruit-Soy Flank Steak with Grapefruit Cabbage Slaw

  2. Prep grill for medium-high heat. Oil grates.
  3. Make slaw: toss cabbage with 1–2 Tbsp grapefruit juice (from remaining) + pinch salt + a drizzle of oil. Add sliced green onions. Add 1 Tbsp vinegar if you want it punchier.

  5. Slice against the grain and serve with grapefruit-cabbage slaw.

Health notes: ~700–900 calories per serving depending on steak portion; slaw boosts fiber and vitamin C.
