You know those recipes where the first bite is so darn good that you make it over and over again forever more, and take it to ALL the potlucks? Well, my friends, this spicy salmon salad is exactly that. I make this every year as soon as the sun starts shining.

Instructions

Oil your grill and preheat it to medium-high.
Using a sharp knife, remove the skin from the salmon. (You can ask your fishmonger to do this or remove the skin after the fish cooks if you're not comfortable removing it first.) In a small bowl, combine the sea salt, paprika, cayenne, oregano, cumin, and black pepper. Sprinkle evenly over the salmon.
Grill the salmon for 6-7 minutes, or until just cooked. If white spots start to appear on your salmon, remove it immediately as it is done. Let it cool slightly then break it into bite-sized pieces.
While the salmon is cooking, whisk all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
Toss the greens with some of the dressing (save the rest for a salad later in the week) and serve with the grilled fish and all the salad toppings.

Notes

Grapefruit juice: You can either squeeze a little of the grapefruit or buy grapefruit juice.
