Cook wine until reduced by half , 3 to 4 minutes.

Stir in grapefruit juice , sugar and 1 / 4 tsp salt.

Keep sauce warm.

In cup , mix oil , dried thyme , pepper and 1 / 2 tsp salt.

Spray rack in broiling pan with nonstick spray.

Place salmon pieces , skin-side up , on rack.

With broiling pan at closest position to source of heat , broil salmon 3 minutes.

Broil 5 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

To serve , place 1 piece of salmon on each of 4 warm dinner plates.
