GRAPEFRUIT AND HONEY SALMON
The Chopped challenge this week was to use grapefruit in a savory dish. In order to bring out the semisweet-and-sour flavor of the fruit we made a sweet-and-sour sauce to pair with poached salmon. Chopped Basket Ingredient: Grapefruit

Steps:
- Juice 1 grapefruit into a bowl. Cut the peel and pith from the other grapefruit. Remove the flesh from the membranes with a sharp knife, adding any juice to the juice in the bowl. Reserve the grapefruit segments.
- Boil the reserved juice, honey and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small saucepan until reduced by half and slightly syrupy, 4 to 6 minutes.
- Toss the grapefruit segments with the shallots, oil, parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Bring a large, straight-sided skillet with 4 cups of well-salted water to a simmer; the water should cover the salmon. Add the salmon to the skillet and remove from the heat. Let the salmon cook in the hot water until just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Transfer the salmon to paper towels and pat dry. Place on serving plates. Drizzle the salmon with the sauce and top with the grapefruit salad.
GRILLED SALMON AND GRAPEFRUIT SALADS WITH HONEY VINAIGRETTE
Light, refreshing, summery dinnertime salads are a delicious change from heavy, wintry dishes-even when the snow is still flying. Sweet and tart red grapefruit, mandarin oranges, a little lemon-all this citrusy goodness brightens up smoky pan-grilled salmon and makes a great flavor-balance for the pleasantly sweet vinaigrette. It's easy, casual, light, and tasty-and nothing about it says winter.

Steps:
- Combine the honey, vinegar, lemon juice, and garlic in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and set aside.
- Heat a grill pan (or cast-iron skillet) over medium-high heat and brush with olive oil. Season the salmon with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and grill skin-side up until the flesh on the bottom is lightly charred, 3-4 minutes.
- Turn and grill skin-side down until just cooked through but still opaque in the middle, 2-3 minutes longer. Lift the salmon off its skin and place on a cutting board. (Discard skin.) When the salmon has cooled to about room temperature, break into bite-sized chunks.
- Place the lettuce greens, grapefruit pieces, mandarin oranges, and red onion in a large bowl. Drizzle with half the vinaigrette and toss lightly.
- Divide the salad between 2 plates. Top with salmon and slivered almonds. Serve right away.
