SALMON WITH POMEGRANATE-AVOCADO SALSA



Salmon With Pomegranate-Avocado Salsa image

This makes a simple yet elegant dinner. To remove the seeds easily, cut the crown end off pomegranate and lightly score through the tough skin from top to bottom 5 or 6 times. Immerse in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes. Holding the fruit under water, break the scored sections apart. Separate seeds from rind and membrane. The seeds will sink to the bottom of the bowl, the rind and membrane will float. Skim off and discard, pour remaining water and seeds through a sieve and, voila, you are done. This is the only part of the recipe that takes any time so I tend to do it the night before and store the seeds covered in the fridge until I'm ready to proceed. It's really easy folks, keep on reading. Yummy!

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 31m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
pomegranate seeds, from one pomegranate
3 tablespoons lime juice
2 teaspoons minced seeded jalapenos
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 avocados, diced
4 (6 ounce) centre-cut salmon fillets (about 6oz/170g each)
1 head romaine lettuce, heart torn small

Steps:

  • In small bowl combine coriander, salt, sugar.
  • Up to 24 hours before serving, combine pomegranate seeds, onion, lime, jalapeno, garlic.
  • Up to 4 hours before serving, gently fold in avocado. If holding more than 30 minutes, cover surface of the salsa with plastic wrap and refrigerate (prevents discolouration of avocado).
  • Rub coriander mixture onto tops of salmon, I only used 2/3 of the rub.
  • Arrange on baking sheet skin side down. Bake in preheated 500F oven for approximately 11 minutes for medium-rare. Cook time is personal preference.
  • While salmon is cooling, arrange 1/4 of lettuce on each plate.
  • Off to the side but still touching lettuce, place 1/4 of the salsa.
  • Slide a knife under each piece of salmon and remove skin.
  • Now plate the salmon in an eye-pleasing manner.
  • Ring the dinner bell, listen to the ohs and ahs as your guests admire the beauty and savour the dish you created.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon fillet. Look for a fillet that is firm and has a vibrant color. Avoid fillets that are soft or have any discoloration.
  • Cook the salmon properly. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it carefully. Overcooking will make the salmon dry and tough. The best way to cook salmon is to bake it in the oven at a low temperature until it is just cooked through.
  • Use fresh ingredients for the avocado salsa. The avocado salsa is a great way to add flavor and freshness to the salmon. Be sure to use ripe avocados and fresh cilantro, tomatoes, and onions.
  • Serve the salmon with your favorite sides. Salmon is a versatile fish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular sides for salmon include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Salmon with avocado salsa is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the avocado salsa is a perfect complement. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
