By gilligan1963

Ingredients

• Avocado grapefruit salsa:
• 4 salmon filets (4-6 ounces each)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
• 1 ruby red grapefruit (peeled and segmented)
• 2 ripe avocadoes (peeled, pitted, diced)
• 1 small shallot (peeled, minced)
• 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
• 1 cup basmati rice (for serving)
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Preparation

Step 1

Adjust the top rack in the oven. Preheat the oven to broil. Prepare a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Onto the prepared baking sheet, add the salmon. Season the salmon filet with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, honey and cayenne pepper. Brush honey mixture on each fillet. Place under the broiler for 3-5 minutes, or until desired doneness and the top of the salmon has caramelized.

For the Avocado Grapefruit Salsa: Using a pairing knife, remove the skin of the grapefruit. Cut along the inside of the peel to separate the segments.

In a medium bowl, add the avocado, grapefruit, shallot, and cilantro. Fold to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve with basmati rice.

Tip: Make the salsa 30 minutes in advance to allow the flavors to macerate together.
