1. Top and tail the grapefruit, then slice off the peel and pith. Cut through the membranes to release fine segments. Catch these in a bowl, along with any juice. Stir the segments into the hollandaise along with a few tbsp of juice and the basil. Set aside.
2. Boil 1 litre water in a wide shallow pan with the herbs, onion, vinegar and seasoning for 5 mins. Put in the salmon, pour over extra water to cover and poach gently until just firm, about 7 mins. Remove and drain, then place on plates. Spoon over the sauce and serve with a green salad and potatoes.

  Husband doesn't normally like Hollandaise - but he loved this as the grapefruit cuts through the richness. The grapefruit does disintegrate quickly though so make sure you put in at last minute. This would make an excellent dinner party dish.
