Steps:
- For the glaze: In a small saucepan, bring the vinegar, maple syrup, mustard and garlic to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until thick, about 12 minutes. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
- For the salmon: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the salmon on the baking sheet. Drizzle both sides of the salmon with the olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Roast until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
- For the vegetables: In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and cook until the shallots are softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the edamame and snap peas and cook until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the vegetable mixture among 4 serving plates. Top with a piece of salmon and drizzle with the glaze.

Squeeze juice from membrane into a measuring cup. Juice the third grapefruit to total 1 1/2 cups juice.
- In a medium non-aluminum saucepan, combine juice, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil and cook unti syrupy, about 15 minutes (you should have about 1/4 cup). Remove half of the glaze to bowl and let cool to room temperature.
- Add 1 cup of grapefruit segments to the pot (reserve remainder for serving); bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until segments have broken down and sauce has thickened, about 12 minutes (you should have about 1/4 cup of relish).
- Heat broiler with the rack set 4 inches from the top. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place salmon fillets on prepared sheet and season with salt and pepper. Brush salmon with reserved glaze and broil, rotating once during cooking, until opaque throughout, 6 to 7 minutes. Serve salmon with relish and reserved grapefruit segments.

GRILLED SALMON FILLETS WITH BALSAMIC GLAZE
Steps:
- Combine first 4 ingredients in medium saucepan. Boil until reduced to 1/3 cup, about 17 minutes. Season glaze to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over low heat before using.)
- Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush salmon lightly with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill salmon, flesh side down first, until just opaque in center, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer salmon to platter. Drizzle glaze over salmon.
Tips:
- To ensure the salmon is cooked evenly, make sure the fillets are of uniform thickness. If they are not, the thicker parts may be undercooked while the thinner parts are overcooked.
- To prevent the salmon from sticking to the grill, brush the grates with oil before cooking. You can also use a non-stick cooking spray.
- Cook the salmon over medium heat to prevent it from burning. The salmon is done cooking when it flakes easily with a fork.
- Be careful not to overcook the salmon, as it will become dry and tough. It is better to slightly undercook the salmon and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- To make the balsamic and grapefruit glaze, use fresh grapefruit juice. Bottled grapefruit juice will not have the same flavor.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the salmon in a grill pan over medium heat.
Conclusion:
Grilled balsamic and grapefruit glazed salmon is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The salmon is grilled to perfection and then glazed with a sweet and tangy balsamic and grapefruit glaze. The glaze complements the salmon perfectly and adds a burst of flavor to each bite. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
