2-4 salmon filets, sized for individual taste
1 lemon
1 avocado
1 large (preferably red) grapefruit
1/2 c. canola (or other lighter tasting) vegetable oil

Divide them among dinner plates, as per number of desired servings. Place a portion of the salmon on top of each pile of greens. Divide the avocado-grapefruit salsa over all.
