Grapefruit-Broiled Salmon

This WLS friendly recipe is taste great and is nutrient dense with vitamin C, potassium and dietary fiber from the grapefruit and heat-friendly Omega 3 fatty acids in the salmon. A normal serving of Grapefruit-Broiled Salmon contains about 40% daily value potassium. The salad is good served cold the next day.

Ingredients:
3 grapefruits
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 celery stalk cut into ¼-inch dice
¼ cup finely chopped red onion
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon salt
4 boneless salmon fillets, with skin (6 ounces each)
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Directions:
1. With a small paring knife, peel the grapefruits. Working over a bowl to catch the juice separate the grapefruit sections from the membranes; reserve any juice that collects in the bowl. Halve the grapefruit sections crosswise and transfer to a salad bowl. Add the bell pepper, celery, oinon, oil, mustard, and ½ teaspoon of the salt. Toss to combine and refrigerate until serving.
(to save time I have used the bottled pre-sectioned grapefruit from the produce section.)

2. Preheat the broiler. Place the salmon, skin-side down, on a broiler rack. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of the reserved grapefruit juice, the oregano, black pepper and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt over the salmon. Broil 6 inches from the heat for 8 minutes or until just cooked through. Serve the salmon with the grapefruit salad. Serves 4 (normal)
