Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (such as salmon, cod, or seabass)
- 3 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup pomegranate seeds (arils, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the pomegranate molasses, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, honey, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the glaze.
Place the fish fillets on the prepared baking tray, skin-side down if applicable.
Brush the prepared glaze generously over the top of each fish fillet, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Transfer the fish to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary based on the thickness of the fillets.
Once cooked, remove the fish from the oven and allow it to rest for 2 minutes.
Garnish the fish with pomegranate seeds and freshly chopped parsley before serving. Optional: Drizzle a little extra pomegranate molasses on top for added flavor.
Serve immediately with sides such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
