Ingredients

• 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

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 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.

Step 3

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

Step 4

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

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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