Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup unsweetened grapefruit juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon grated grapefruit peel
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • Dash to 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 1/3 cup chopped pink grapefruit sections
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons chopped jalapeno pepper
  • 2 teaspoons butter

Directions

  • For marinade, in a small bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Set aside 1 tablespoon. Place tilapia in a large resealable plastic bag; add remaining marinade. Seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • For the salsa, in a small bowl, combine the beans, grapefruit sections, onion, cilantro, jalapeno and reserved marinade. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
