- Kroger® Whole Garlic Bulbs 2 cloves, minced $2.49 (5 ct)

- Brown sugar or honey 1–2 Tbsp (to taste)

Instructions
- Heat broiler to HIGH. Line a sheet pan with foil; oil it lightly.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
