SALMON WITH POMEGRANATE-AVOCADO SALSA
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!

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. Look for wild-caught salmon that is fresh or frozen. Avoid farmed salmon, as it is often lower in quality and may contain contaminants.
- Cook the salmon properly. Salmon is best cooked to medium-rare or medium, as overcooking can make it dry and tough. You can cook salmon in a variety of ways, including grilling, baking, and pan-frying.
- Make sure the avocado salsa is fresh. The avocado salsa is a key component of this dish, so make sure to use fresh, ripe avocados. You can also add other ingredients to the salsa, such as tomatoes, onions, and cilantro.
- Serve the salmon with the avocado salsa immediately. This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked, while the salmon is still hot and the avocado salsa is still fresh.
Conclusion:
Salmon with Pomegranate Avocado Salsa is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are looking for a light and refreshing meal or a hearty and satisfying dinner, this dish is sure to please.
