1 grapefruit
1 small shallot minced
1 tbsp dijon
Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 275F and lower your oven rack to the lower third of the oven.
In a baking dish, add fennel, zest of a jalapeño, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, and 1 tsp of the ground fennel seed. Mix well.
Add salmon filets on top and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and the remaining 1 tsp of the ground fennel seed.
Place dish in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through.
In the meantime, prepare the dressing. Supreme the grapefruit by cutting the meaty segments from the grapefruit and separating it from the bitter pith. Set aside the segments.
