* ¼ tsp salt, plus more for seasoning
* 2 ruby red grapefruits
* 2 tsp olive oil
* 1 tbsp minced shallot

# Preheat the oven to 350°F.
# Season the salmon with ¼ teaspoon salt, place in a baking dish and roast until cooked through, about 18 minutes.
# While the salmon is cooking prepare the sauce.
# Cut 1 of the grapefruits into sections by cutting off the top and bottom of the fruit, then standing it on 1 end, cut down the skin to remove the pith and peel.
# Then, with a paring knife, remove each segment of fruit from its casing and cut the segments in half.
# Set the segment pieces aside.
# Juice the other grapefruit and set the juice aside.
# In a medium skillet, heat the oil over a medium heat.
# Add the shallot and saute until softened, about 2 minutes.
# Add the ginger, grapefruit juice, honey, and cayenne pepper and bring to simmer.
# Cook until sauce is reduced by about half about,10 minutes.
# Add lemon juice and season with salt, to taste.
# Right before serving, toss the grapefruit pieces and basil into the sauce.
# Put the salmon onto a serving dish.
# Spoon sauce over the salmon and serve.
