PREP TIME:
8 mins
COOK TIME:
4 mins
Ingredients
- 4 x 180g salmon fillets
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tbs paprika (not spicy hot)
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chilli powder (optional)
- 1 lemon, juiced
- Black pepper
- 2 pink grapefruits, peeled and segmented
- 1 cup flat leaf parsley, loosely chopped
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges for serving
Method
- Brush the fish fillets with oil.
- Combine the cumin, paprika and chilli and coat the fillets with this spice mix. You can either roll them on a plate, or put the spices and fish in a bag and toss them until coated evenly.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan and fry over a medium heat. Cook the fish for 2 minutes on each side until almost cooked through.
- Turn off the heat and cover with foil whilst making the salad.
- Whisk the lemon juice and remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil together, seasoning with black pepper.
- Place the grapefruit segments and parsley in a bowl and toss with the dressing.
- Have fun plating this up – grapefruit on the side or underneath the salmon, lemon wedges strategically placed! It looks beautiful however you do it.
Inspiration
- Try a different mix of spices – cumin, turmeric, paprika, ground coriander and black pepper work really well.
- Place the marinated fish in the fridge for a couple of hours to bring out the flavours.
- Don’t hold back on different combinations of the salad, watercress or other green salad leaves and avocado.
