Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1 cup pomegranate juice
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (gluten-free if needed)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh pomegranate seeds for garnish (optional)
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small saucepan, combine pomegranate juice, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, and minced garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- Season the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish and season with salt and pepper. Pour half of the pomegranate glaze over the salmon, reserving the other half for later.
- Bake the Salmon: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Glaze and Serve: During the last few minutes of baking, brush the reserved glaze over the salmon for added flavor. Once done, remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes.
- Garnish: Serve the salmon garnished with fresh pomegranate seeds and chopped parsley, if desired.
