Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
For the Marinade:
- In a bowl, combine juice from a grapefruit, soy sauce, water, brown sugar, ginger, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes and pepper. Whisk together and set aside.
For the Salmon:
- On a sheet pan or pizza pan, lay a large piece of heavy duty foil.
- On the foil, place the pieces of salmon (skin side-down if there is skin on the salmon).
- Pour the marinade over the salmon making sure that it stays on the foil.
- Pull all of the sides of the foil up together to make a "tent" and roll the top edges tightly together to seal the tent.
- Set the foil packet on a small cookie sheet or pizza pan.
- Bake the salmon in a preheated oven (at 350 degrees F.) until it reaches the desired doneness (about 10 minutes).
- Salt to taste and serve warm over warm rice. Garnish with fresh parsley.
