Instructions
Creating Easy Pomegranate Glazed Salmon is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to achieve a delicious dish:
1. Prepare the Salmon: Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Make the Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine pomegranate juice, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces and thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
3. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Salmon: Once the oil is hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
5. Flip the Salmon: Carefully flip the salmon fillets and brush the pomegranate glaze over the top. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
6. Glaze the Salmon: During the last minute of cooking, spoon more glaze over the salmon to enhance the flavor.
7. Remove from Heat: Once cooked, remove the salmon from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle pomegranate seeds and fresh parsley or cilantro over the salmon for a pop of color and freshness.
9. Serve: Place the glazed salmon on a serving platter and drizzle any remaining glaze over the top.
