Ingredients

1	pound	salmon fillets	cut 1 inch thick
1	x	nonstick cooking spray
2	tablespoons	almonds	slivered
			Sauce
1	teaspoon	prepared mustard	flavored, orange-ginger
2/3	cup	grapefruit juice	fresh
1/3	cup	carrot juice	or broth
1/2	teaspoon	soy sauce	low sodium
1	pinch	red pepper flakes	to taste
1	x	black pepper	to taste
1	teaspoon	cornstarch
1/4	teaspoon	sesame oil	for fragrance
			Garnish
1	x	black pepper	cracked
1	x	cilantro	chopped fresh

Directions

In a bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients and set aside.

Cut the salmon into serving pieces, equally sized so that they will cook evenly.

Heat nonstick skillet over high. Remove from heat and spray lightly with vegetable coating, if using. Return to the burner and add the salmon, sear well on one side (about 6 to 8 mins) then turn to sear the second side. Make room in the skillet to toast the almonds for about 1 to 2 mins. Pour on the sauce mixture; turn the heat to medium and cook, covered, for about 3 to 4 minutes. Test for doneness; add a little water to the reducing sauce if necessary.

Remove from the pan and cut each serving into fourths. Serve with a pasta dish or rice. Place fish on top and pour the sauce over that. Top with plenty of cracked pepper and cilantro. Serve a steamed vegetable to balance the meal.
