Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450.

Place fish paillards on four oven-proof plates and cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Grate zest from both grapefruits and reserve. Squeeze juice from 1 grapefruit and set aside. Segment the remaining one.

Bring 2 quarts of water to boil and add 1 tbsp salt. Set up an icebath. Drop leeks into water and cook for 2 minutes, then drain and refresh in the icebath for 1 minute.

In a small bowl, whisk together half of the zest, the grapefruit juice, mustard, seeds, and 1/4 cp of the oil until lightly emulsified.

Uncover fish and cook in the oven until just opaque, about 35-45 seconds. Remove and set aside.

Dress leeks with remaining oil and lemon juice and divide among the fish plates, making a pile in the center. Place 3 fruit segments on each plate and sprinkle with remaining zest. Drizzle with sauce.
