Working over a medium bowl, cut grapefruit segments from their surrounding membranes, dropping them into the bowl; discard the membranes and any seeds. Add avocado, shallot, cilantro, preserved grapefruit paste and 1 tablespoon oil; toss to combine. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and heat until shimmering. Season fish on both sides with salt and pepper. Add to the pan and cook until lightly browned and starting to flake, 2 to 3 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Serve the fish, salsa and cabbage in tortillas. Tips: Make your own preserved citrus paste with this recipe. If you don't want to preserve your own citrus, grab a jar of preserved lemons at the grocery store. Rinse the citrus to remove excess salt. Puree in a food processor or blender. Refrigerate the paste for up to 1 year. Heat tortillas, one at a time, directly on a burner or in a hot pan until blistered in spots. (Alternatively, wrap tortillas in a barely damp, clean kitchen towel or paper towel and microwave on High for 30 to 45 seconds.)
