🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large (finely diced) Shallot
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 0.75 cups (freshly squeezed) Grapefruit juice
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoon Grapefruit zest
• 1 tablespoon (chopped, for garnish) Fresh parsley

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the fillets, and season with 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

3. Roast the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

4. While the salmon is roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.

5. Add the diced shallot to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

6. Pour the freshly squeezed grapefruit juice into the skillet, add the honey, and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced by half.

7. Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the sauce is glossy and smooth. Stir in the grapefruit zest and remove the skillet from the heat.

8. Once the salmon is cooked, transfer the fillets to serving plates and spoon the shallot grapefruit sauce over the top.

9. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious Roasted Salmon with Shallot Grapefruit Sauce!
