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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the 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, grated ginger, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, and minced garlic. Stir well to combine.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides of the fillets with salt and ground black pepper.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Once baked, remove the salmon from the oven and brush with a second layer of the glaze for an extra burst of flavor.

Step 8

Transfer the salmon to serving plates and garnish with pomegranate seeds, chopped parsley, and a lime wedge, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful 'Salmon with Pomegranate Ginger Glaze'!
