Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

For the Florida Grapefruit and Avocado Salsa:

In a bowl, combine the Red Florida Grapefruit, White Florida Grapefruit, ¼ cup of the reserved Grapefruit juice, bell pepper, onion, tomatoes, jalapeño, lime zest, lime juice, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste and gently toss until mixed through. Add the avocado and gently toss until mixed. Cover and set aside at room temperature until ready to serve. The salsa can be made up to 1 hour in advance.

For the Salmon

Preheat a large skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the avocado oil and raise the heat to medium-high. Add the fish to the pan and cook until browned, around 4 minutes. If using skin-on salmon cook the skin side first. Flip and cook until cooked to your preferred doneness, around 3 more minutes for a medium centre.
Add the steamed rice or side of choice to a serving dish. Balance the fish in the centre and spoon the Florida Grapefruit and Avocado Salsa overtop. Garnish with 2 or 3 sliced sugar snap peas and serve immediately.
