About

The flavorful acidity of this trio of citrus is perfect with the oily salmon. Using the marinade as a poaching liquid allows one to make this elegant salmon dish with ease. The pink grapefruit slices look splendid against the salmon. After cooking, remove grapefruit slices. Cut the salmon into 1- 1/2 inch sections. Garnish the platter with grapefruit slices and sprigs of cilantro. Pour a couple of tablespoons of cooked marinade over each slice of salmon before serving.
