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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with kosher salt and black pepper.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Brush the pomegranate glaze generously over the top of each salmon fillet.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.

Step 8

Garnish with pomegranate seeds and serve with lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy!
