Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 ruby red grapefruit
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
Kosher salt and finely ground black pepper
1 large shallot, finely chopped
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cups fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
Four 6-ounce skinless salmon fillets

Steps:

  • Juice 1 grapefruit into a bowl. Cut the peel and pith from the other grapefruit. Remove the flesh from the membranes with a sharp knife, adding any juice to the juice in the bowl. Reserve the grapefruit segments.
  • Boil the reserved juice, honey and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small saucepan until reduced by half and slightly syrupy, 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Toss the grapefruit segments with the shallots, oil, parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Salmon Recipes

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 Ruby Red grapefruits
3 to 4 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 skinless salmon fillets, (about 6 ounces each)

Steps:

  • Remove a thin slice from the top and bottom of 2 grapefruits, and discard. Set one of the flat sides on the work surface. From top to bottom, following the curve of the fruit, cut away peel and white pith. Holding fruit over bowl, cut along both sides of each segment (close to the membrane) to release. Reserve segments. 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.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest salmon you can find. Fresh salmon will have a bright pink color and a mild, briny smell. Avoid salmon that is dull in color or has a strong, fishy smell.
  • Cook the salmon to your desired doneness. Salmon can be cooked rare, medium-rare, or well-done. The best way to cook salmon is to sear it in a hot skillet until it is browned on the outside and cooked to your desired doneness on the inside.
  • Make sure the grapefruit salsa is fresh. The grapefruit salsa is best made with fresh grapefruit, cilantro, and red onion. If you are using store-bought salsa, make sure it is fresh and has not been sitting on the shelf for too long.
  • Serve the salmon with the grapefruit salsa immediately. The salmon is best served immediately with the grapefruit salsa. The salsa will add a bright and citrusy flavor to the salmon.

Conclusion:

Sweet and spicy salmon with grapefruit salsa is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the grapefruit salsa is a refreshing and flavorful addition. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
