Grapefruit, garlic and fresh cilantro leaves combine for a tasty topping
for grilled salmon.
Ingredients
- 1 salmon fillet (about 2 pounds)
- 1 red grapefruit
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1/2 cup white wine (I like to cook with dry white vermouth)
- 1/4 cup chopped, fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Preheat oven to broil.
- Drizzle a little olive oil in a roasting pan, place the salmon in it and lightly season with salt and
- pepper.
- Broil salmon 15 minutes, or until lightly browned and cooked
- through (no need to turn).
- Meanwhile, peel grapefruit and with a paring knife, remove the excess white membrane. Break into sections and chop into small pieces, discarding seeds. Set aside.
- In a medium skillet, heat a little olive oil along with a pat of butter.
- Stir in garlic and cook 10 seconds.
- Add chopped grapefruit and wine.
- Bring to boil and let cook 5 minutes, or until slightly reduced, pressing on grapefruit pieces
- with a spoon as you go (to release juices). There should be a fair
- amount of liquid in the pan to sauce the salmon (add more wine if you
- need to).
- Stir in cilantro and honey and cook 1 more minute.
- Spoon over broiled salmon.
Serving suggestion: For good color, serve with steamed broccoli enhanced
with salt and a touch of crushed red pepper flakes, and a slice or two
of tomato.

Tried it out and used a little more garlic than recommended. I would definitely cut back on that next time; may even not include any...
