For a deeper flavor, let the spice rub sit on the salmon for 30 minutes before baking. This allows the flavors to penetrate the fish.
If you don't have fresh grapefruit, you can substitute canned grapefruit segments, drained well. Adjust the sweetness of the salsa to your liking by adding a touch of honey or maple syrup.
The grapefruit salsa can be made up to 24 hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator. The flavors will meld together beautifully.
