Spicy Grapefruit Salmon
4
Seafood
Ingredients
¼ cup freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1½ teaspoons ginger, minced
- 1½ teaspoons garlic, minced
2 tablespoons Fustini’s Peperoncino Garlic Crush olive oil
½-1 cup unsalted toasted peanuts, crushed
¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves and delicate stems, roughly chopped
1 ½ lb fresh salmon fillets, cut into four portions (skin-on will work, but skinless is preferred)
salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
Bake salmon for 10-12 minutes on a parchment-lined or lightly oiled baking sheet, until fish is firm and just begins to flake around the edges. Alternatively, grill for 6-7 minutes over 375°F heat, flipping once.
Combine grapefruit juice, soy sauce, sugar, ginger, and garlic in a small bowl.
Heat oil in a 10-inch cast iron pan over medium heat.
Add grapefruit juice, balsamic, soy sauce, sugar, ginger, and garlic to the pan and simmer until the liquid is reduced to a thick, shiny glaze, about 5 minutes.
Remove salmon from oven and baste with sauce. Return to the oven and bake just until the sauce coats the salmon. If grilling, baste salmon with sauce and grill for an additional 1–2 minutes.
Top finished salmon with a generous amount of crushed peanuts, grapefruit slices, fresh cilantro or basil if desired, and a little extra sauce. Excellent when served with Jasmine rice.
