Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets (6 ounces each) Salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
- 1 cup Pomegranate juice (unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup Pomegranate seeds (for garnish, optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Preheat the 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, grated ginger, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, and minced garlic. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reduces and thickens slightly into a glaze-like consistency. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides of the fillets with salt and ground black pepper.
Arrange the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable. Brush a generous layer of the pomegranate-ginger glaze over the top of each fillet.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, or until the salmon easily flakes with a fork.
Once baked, remove the salmon from the oven and brush with a second layer of the glaze for an extra burst of flavor.
Transfer the salmon to serving plates and garnish with pomegranate seeds, chopped parsley, and a lime wedge, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful 'Salmon with Pomegranate Ginger Glaze'!
