Grilled Salmon and Grapefruit
Ingredients
- 1¼ lbs salmon, boneless fillets
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 2 red grapefruits
- 3 cups (3 oz.) baby spinach or arugula lettuce
Tomato and almond pesto
- 1 cup (8½ oz.) canned whole tomatoes
- 2 oz. (61⁄3 tbsp) blanched almonds
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 garlic clove
- ½ tbsp red wine vinegar
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- ¼ cup olive oil
Instructions
-
Cut the salmon into serving-sized pieces and brush with oil. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Cut the grapefruit into 1/2" (1.5 cm) slices and brush with oil.
-
Cook the salmon and grapefruit on the grill. It cooks quickly—a few minutes on each side will be enough. You could also fry them on high heat in a frying pan in some oil.
-
Drain the tomatoes. Reserve the juice for another use; it keeps best in the freezer.
-
Puree the tomatoes and other ingredients in a blender or food processor.
-
Add oil towards the end.
-
Serve on a bed of lettuce, along with a hearty dollop of tomato and almond pesto.
