This pomegranate-glazed salmon recipe is an antioxidant powerhouse. It combines sweetly tart pomegranate molasses, vitamin C packed oranges, fresh herbs, and tender salmon for a healthy dish rich in textures and bright flavors.
Ingredients
1 pound variety of oranges, (we used cara cara, mandarin, and blood)
herbs of choice (we used dill, parsley, and chives)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Slice half the oranges thinly and reserve
the remainder.
Place the slices on a large foil-lined
baking sheet, and drizzle with 1 Tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and
pepper. Spread the orange slices in a single layer, overlapping as needed.
In a small bowl mix pomegranate molasses
and sweet chili sauce.
Season the salmon fillet generously with
salt and pepper, and place it on top the oranges in the center of the pan,
skin-side down. Spread half of the molasses and chili mixture over the salmon
evenly, reserving the remainder.
Bake until salmon is just cooked through,
about 20-25 minutes.
Meanwhile, peel and slice the remaining
oranges into small pieces. Pick out any seeds.
To the bowl of oranges add herbs, and 1
Tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
When the salmon is done, immediately
drizzle it with remaining pomegranate molasses sauce. Top with orange and herb
mixture, and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
