Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 Ruby Red grapefruits
3 to 4 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 skinless salmon fillets, (about 6 ounces each)

Steps:

  • Remove a thin slice from the top and bottom of 2 grapefruits, and discard. Set one of the flat sides on the work surface. From top to bottom, following the curve of the fruit, cut away peel and white pith. Holding fruit over bowl, cut along both sides of each segment (close to the membrane) to release. Reserve segments. Squeeze juice from membrane into a measuring cup. Juice the third grapefruit to total 1 1/2 cups juice.
  • In a medium non-aluminum saucepan, combine juice, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil and cook unti syrupy, about 15 minutes (you should have about 1/4 cup). Remove half of the glaze to bowl and let cool to room temperature.
  • Add 1 cup of grapefruit segments to the pot (reserve remainder for serving); bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until segments have broken down and sauce has thickened, about 12 minutes (you should have about 1/4 cup of relish).
  • Heat broiler with the rack set 4 inches from the top. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place salmon fillets on prepared sheet and season with salt and pepper. Brush salmon with reserved glaze and broil, rotating once during cooking, until opaque throughout, 6 to 7 minutes. Serve salmon with relish and reserved grapefruit segments.

SWEET AND SPICY GRILLED SALMON



Sweet and Spicy Grilled Salmon image

The decadent-tasting "good" fat in salmon complements the sweet-spicy Buffalo glaze. The skin gets caramelized and crisp on the grill as the sauce drips onto it. It's delicious, but can be discarded to save fat and calories. (The numbers below include the skin.) A crisp and refreshing celery slaw is dressed with the same sauce, made creamy with light mayo, and brightened with onions and chives.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons hot sauce, such as Frank's
1 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
1 tablespoon snipped chives
8 stalks celery, very thinly sliced in half moons on an angle
1/2 small red onion, very thinly sliced
Four 5-ounce center-cut skin-on salmon fillets, about 1-inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for oiling the grill

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan on medium high.
  • Mix together the hot sauce, brown sugar, paprika and cayenne in a small bowl. Transfer 1 tablespoon of the mixture to a large bowl and whisk in the mayonnaise; set aside the rest of the sauce. Add the chives, celery and onions to the bowl with the mayonnaise and toss well.
  • Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper. Brush the grill grate lightly with oil. Lay the salmon on the grill, skin-side up, and cook until distinct grill marks appear and the salmon releases easily from the grate, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and brush the fish with some of the reserved sauce. Continue to cook the fish, brushing the pieces periodically with the sauce, until the salmon fillets are glazed and just cooked through, 13 to 15 minutes more.
  • Transfer the fillets to individual plates and serve with the celery slaw.
