Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 1 cup Pomegranate juice
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Pomegranate seeds (for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the pomegranate juice, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and fresh rosemary (if using). Stir well and let it simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the mixture has reduced by half and reached a syrupy consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the salmon fillets skin-side up for 2-3 minutes, until the flesh is golden brown. Flip the fillets and cook for another 2 minutes.
Brush the pomegranate glaze generously over the top of each salmon fillet.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Alternatively, if you're using a baking sheet, transfer the seared salmon to the sheet before glazing and baking.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Garnish with pomegranate seeds and serve with lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy!
