EASY ELEGANT SALMON
Dinner-party worthy salmon that takes about 10 minutes to cook and tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen. This is the easiest dish I can think of, and despite the many dishes I try in this house, my boyfriend still thinks it is the best. The first time he tasted it, he said, "WOW, you really can cook." I would make it with some roasted potatoes and maybe some steamed broccoli.

Steps:
- Coat salmon with mustard on both sides.
- Finely chop dill and sprinkle on both sides of the fish. The mustard with make it stick.
- Cook in a 450 degree oven or on a stovetop to desired doneness. I like my salmon still pretty pink in the middle, and that takes about 7 minutes. There is no need to turn if you cook it in the oven; on the stove, turn once.
- ENJOY!

- Peel 1 grapefruit; cut into segments between membranes; set aside. From remaining grapefruit, squeeze enough juice to measure 1/4 cup.

Tips:
- For a flavorful and moist salmon, choose a fillet that is at least 1 inch thick.
- Season the salmon generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the natural flavor of the fish.
- Use a non-stick skillet or baking sheet to cook the salmon. This will help to prevent the fish from sticking and falling apart.
- Cook the salmon over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Cook the salmon until it is cooked through. The flesh should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.
