01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 375 degrees F. In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, onion and garlic powder, salt, oregano, thyme, black pepper, cayenne, and brown sugar. Cut the salmon into four pieces and brush each one with a little oil. Then, sprinkle the spice mix all over the salmon, making sure each piece is well coated. Place the salmon on a baking sheet with sides and pop it in the oven. Let it bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily when you test it with a fork.

Step 2
While the salmon cooks, chop the grapefruit into bite-sized chunks and toss it with the other salsa ingredients. You can prepare the salsa ahead of time and keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to eat. When the salmon is done, serve it topped with the fresh grapefruit salsa for a bright, flavorful meal.
Why you’ll love it
This dish combines the rich, buttery taste of salmon with a bright and zesty salsa. The fresh grapefruit adds a refreshing citrus twist that balances the flavors perfectly. It’s a healthy meal that feels special but is easy to prepare.
How to serve
Serve this dish with a simple side of steamed rice or quinoa to soak up the salsa juices. A light green salad or roasted vegetables also complement the bright flavors well. For a touch of creaminess, add a dollop of Greek yogurt on the side.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftover salmon and salsa in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator. Eat within two days for the best taste and texture. Reheat the salmon gently to avoid drying it out, or enjoy it cold in a salad or sandwich.
