- On today's episode of In Season
we are celebrating the tail end of grapefruit season.
So get 'em before they're gone.
Now, if you're not a fan of grapefruit,
it might be that you've been eating it
out of season all along.
And if you are a fan of grapefruit
then you're in luck 'cause today
I'm gonna show you grapefruit three delicious ways.
We are going to get started today
with my broiled brown sugar grapefruit.
Them I'm going to show you an incredible
grapefruit and avocado salad
with sweet citrus dressing.
And finally, we are going to wrap things up
with some grapefruit and ginger glazed salmon
that you are going to love.
Let's get started with my very simple,
but very delicious broiled brown sugar grapefruit.
What I love about making my grapefruit this way
is that it brings out a lot of the natural sweetness
in the grapefruit,
and the brown sugar cuts through the bitterness,
making it the perfect morning treat.
So, all I'm going to do is start by
slicing a grapefruit in half.
Then, using a sharp paring knife,
I'm going to cut along each of the membranes
to help release the pieces of grapefruit.
Now, this isn't an essential step,
but it will make it much easier to eat in the long run.
Then it's just a matter of sprinkling some brown sugar
on the top of each half,
and putting these in the oven.
We're going to broil these on high
for two or three minutes,
or until that sugar starts to caramelize.
I like to eat these hot out of the oven with a spoon.
They make one delicious breakfast.
Next up we've got a glorious grapefruit and avocado salad
with a sweet citrus dressing.
I'm going to start by cutting off the top
and the bottom of each of my grapefruits,
and then running my knife along the sides
to remove the peel.
Next, I'm going to carefully run my knife
along the sides of each membrane,
releasing the segments as I go.
Once the segments have all been removed,
I'm going to set them aside
and then juice what's left of my grapefruit.
I'm going to use this grapefruit juice
as the base for my sweet citrus dressing.
For my dressing I'm going to combine
my grapefruit juice with some freshly squeezed lime juice,
a good drizzle of honey, some olive oil,
and some salt and pepper.
I'm going to whisk it together
and set it aside while I assemble my salad.
For this salad I'm using arugula
because I love the combination
of the peppery arugula with the creamy avocado
and the bitter sweet grapefruit.
It makes a killer combination.
So, I've got my arugula in a bowl
and I'm just going to top it with some fresh avocado slices,
my grapefruit segments, my sweet citrus dressing,
and finally some crunchy sunflower seeds.
And this salad is ready to serve.
Finally, I'm going to show you
my sweet and spicy grapefruit and ginger glazed salmon.
If that doesn't sound delicious to you,
don't knock it until you've tried it.
We're getting started today with some
beautiful salmon fillets.
And all I'm going to do is season them liberally
with some salt and pepper.
Into the oven they go at 375 until they're cooked through.
In the meantime I am going to get started
on my grapefruit ginger glaze.
So, in a small saucepan I am starting
with some freshly squeezed grapefruit juice.
This is definitely a place for freshly squeezed,
not store bought.
We are celebrating grapefruit season after all.
To my grapefruit juice I am going to be adding
some freshly grated ginger, some brown sugar,
and some red chili flakes.
I'm going to bring this flavorful concoction to a boil
and let it reduce by at least two thirds.
That's how we're going to create our glaze.
Next, I'm going to remove my salmon from the oven
and spoon some of my glaze over each fillet.
I'm going to put it back in the oven
and broil it for one to two minutes.
You wanna keep a really good eye on it
because you don't want your glaze to burn.
I'm finishing off this gorgeous salmon
with a little more glaze and some
freshly chopped green onions.
How amazing does this dish look?
It's sweet and spicy,
and incredibly flavorful.
And I hope you love it as much as I do.
I hope you'll give these tasty recipes a try.
