• 0.25 cup pomegranate seeds (arils, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Place the fish fillets on the prepared baking tray, skin-side down if applicable.

Step 4

Brush the prepared glaze generously over the top of each fish fillet, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the fish from the oven and allow it to rest for 2 minutes.

Step 7

Garnish the fish with pomegranate seeds and freshly chopped parsley before serving. Optional: Drizzle a little extra pomegranate molasses on top for added flavor.

Step 8
