Recipe Details

Salmon with Grapefruit Sauce

Number of Servings: 4

Serving Size: 3-1/2 oz. salmon plus 2 tablespoons sauce

Salmon definitely tastes better the more simply it's prepared. Slightly sweet yet tart grapefruit juice intensifies the flavor of the sauce and also helps keep the fish from drying out. Garnish the fish with ruby red grapefruit segments mixed with chopped fresh basil to complement the beautiful orange-pink color of the fish.
