sweet and spicy salmon with grapefruit salsa

this month, allrecipes partnered with mazola to create two delicious weeknight recipes.  we love salmon, so we couldn’t wait to try this recipe.  it was delicious, and the unexpected bitter-citrusy element of grapefruit was such a great counterpoint for spicy, buttery baked salmon.

this salmon is super-fast (on the table in no-time-flat), so it’s great for those “oh-no-i-forgot-to-plan-dinner” nights – avoid the drive-thru!  i doubled the salmon in the recipe and tweaked a few additional ingredients from the original recipe at allrecipes.
