ROASTED SALMON WITH SHALLOT-GRAPEFRUIT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Season the salmon with the salt, place in a baking dish, and roast until just cooked through, about 18 minutes.
• While the salmon is cooking, prepare the sauce. Cut one of the grapefruits into sections by cutting off the top and bottom of the fruit, then standing it on one end and cutting down the skin to remove the woolly white pith and peel. Then, with a paring knife, remove each segment of fruit from its membrane and cut the segments in half. Set the segments aside. Juice the other grapefruit and set the juice aside.
• In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the ginger, grapefruit juice, honey, and cayenne and bring to simmer. Cook until the sauce is reduced by about half, about 10 minutes. Add the lemon juice and season with salt. Right before serving, toss the grapefruit pieces and basil into the sauce.
• Place the salmon on a serving dish, spoon the sauce over it, and serve.

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH GOLDEN SHALLOT & GRAPEFRUIT SAUCE

Steps:

• In a 10-inch skillet, cook the shallots in 6 Tbs. of the oil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the shallots are golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the grapefruit juice and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
• Pull off and discard any muscle tabs still attached to the sides of the scallops. Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season them lightly with salt and pepper.
• In a 12-inch heavy-duty nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 2 Tbs. oil over medium-high heat. Add the scallops (in batches if necessary to keep from crowding them), cover with a splatter screen if you have one, and cook until they are golden brown on both sides and almost firm to the touch, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
• Add the shallot sauce to the scallops and cook briefly, shaking the pan, until the sauce is just heated through. Serve immediately, sprinkled with the chives, if using.
