Preparation:

  1. Berry Balsamic Vinaigrette: Whisk together berry spread, vinegar, oil, shallots, mustard, salt and pepper until combined.
  2. Preheat grill to medium-high; grease grate well. Marinate salmon in half of the Berry Balsamic Vinaigrette for 10 minutes. Toss asparagus with 2 tbsp (30 mL) of the vinaigrette. Place salmon skin side up on grill; grill for 4 to 6 minutes per side or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Grill asparagus for 4 to 6 minutes or until tender-crisp; cut into bite-size pieces.
  3. Toss arugula with remaining vinaigrette; toss gently with asparagus, grapefruit and red onion. Divide salad among 6 plates; top each with salmon fillet. Garnish with almonds. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  1. To segment grapefruit into supremes: Slice off the top and bottom of grapefruit. Stand fruit on one of the cut ends; slice off outer peel following the natural curve of the fruit to remove the bitter white pith as well. Working over a bowl to catch all the juices, cut between the membranes to release segments, letting them fall into the bowl.
  2. Use any of your favourite E.D.SMITH® TRIPLE FRUITS in the vinaigrette.
