Best Recipe for Pan-Roasted Salmon With Grapefruit-Cabbage Slaw
Ingredients
- 1 large pink grapefruit, cut into supremes, juice reserved
- 1 small shallot, finely chopped
- 5 (4-ounce) salmon fillets, preferably wild- caught sockeye or king, skin on, pin bones removed
- Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 ripe avocado, cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 1/2 medium Savoy cabbage head, cored and very thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, for serving
Instructions
- Combine the grapefruit juice and shallot in a small bowl; set aside.
- Score the skin side of the salmon and season all over with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium- high heat. Place the salmon skin side down in the skillet. Cook until the skin is browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Flip the fillets, reduce the heat to medium, and cook until the fish is barely opaque at the center of each fillet, about 4 more minutes. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the grapefruit juice–shallot mixture, yogurt, and remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the grapefruit segments, avocado, and cabbage and toss gently to combine; season with salt and pepper. Top the slaw with cilantro and serve alongside the salmon.
