Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 Ruby Red grapefruit, room temperature
3 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon white-wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, plus more for serving
1/2 cup mild-flavored extra-virgin olive oil, warmed up
Zest from 1 Ruby Red grapefruit, peeled into long strips, plus 1/4 cup juice
1 quart fish or chicken broth, preferably homemade or canned low-sodium
1 small red onion, cut into eighths, or 4 red cipollini onions, peeled
1 small fennel bulb, sliced lengthwise into 6 pieces, plus 2 stalks with fronds
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
10 black peppercorns
4 skinless salmon fillets, preferably wild (about 4 ounces each)
1 baguette, sliced and toasted, for serving

Steps:

  • Hollandaise: Finely grate 3/4 teaspoon zest from grapefruit, then squeeze 1/4 cup juice; strain. Transfer zest and juice to a small saucepan with egg yolks, vinegar, salt, and cayenne.

  • Add fish to poaching liquid and simmer, adjusting heat as necessary to maintain broth temperature at 190 degrees on thermometer, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer salmon to serving plates alongside fennel, onion, and zest strips. Pour hollandaise over fish and garnish with cayenne. Serve with toasted baguette slices.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest grapefruit: Choose grapefruit that are heavy for their size and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid any fruit that has soft spots or bruises.
  • Zest the grapefruit before juicing: The zest of the grapefruit contains flavorful oils that can enhance the taste of the dish. Use a microplane or zester to remove the zest from the grapefruit before juicing it.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil used in this recipe should be extra virgin olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil has a fruity flavor and aroma that will complement the grapefruit and salmon.
  • Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook the salmon until it is just cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  • Serve immediately: Grapefruit salmon is best served immediately after cooking. The grapefruit juice will continue to cook the salmon if it is allowed to sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Grapefruit salmon is a healthy and flavorful dish that is easy to make. The combination of grapefruit, salmon, and herbs creates a light and refreshing meal that is perfect for any occasion. This recipe is a great way to enjoy the benefits of grapefruit, including its high levels of vitamin C and antioxidants.
