POMEGRANATE GLAZED SALMON



Pomegranate Glazed Salmon image

I bought a beautiful pomegranate at the store the other day and wanted to somehow incorporate it with the salmon I had to cook. My husband and I don't like salmon all that much but after last night I think we'll be eating it much more often! I think this glaze could work for many fish, even pork tenderloin and chicken breasts. I also think you could easily substitute cranberry juice for the pomegranate.

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 pound asparagus
1 orange
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup frozen lima beans, defrosted
1/4 cup toasted hazelnuts, crushed
1/4 cup fresh mint, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
2 scallions, thinly sliced on the bias up to the pale greens
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Four 3- to 5-ounce skin-on salmon fillets, thoroughly dried with a paper towel
Pomegranate Glaze, recipe follows
1/2 cup pomegranate juice
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon cornstarch
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil; prepare an ice water bath. Blanch the asparagus in the boiling water, then transfer to the ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain, then cut the asparagus spears on the bias into thirds.
  • Zest the orange, remove and discard the peel and cut the flesh into segments; squeeze the juice from the remaining membranes into a large bowl.
  • Add the vinegar, mustard and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to the bowl with the orange juice; whisk together. Add the orange zest and segments, asparagus, lima beans, hazelnuts, mint, parsley and scallions and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Position an oven rack in the second position from the top and preheat the oven to broil.
  • Heat a nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Season all sides of the salmon with salt and pepper. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil to the skillet. Place the salmon fillets in the skillet skin-side down and cook for 1 minute.
  • Set aside some of the Pomegranate Glaze in a separate bowl for serving, then brush the salmon liberally with the remaining glaze, being careful not to let too much drip down as the glaze will burn and hinder the crisping of the skin. Transfer to the oven and broil until the glaze is caramelized and the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 125 degrees F, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Serve over the asparagus salad with a couple smears of the reserved glaze on the side.
  • Whisk together the pomegranate juice, honey, sugar, mustard, cornstarch and some salt and pepper in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes. Let cool.

SALMON WITH POMEGRANATE GINGER GLAZE



Salmon With Pomegranate Ginger Glaze image

Make and share this Salmon With Pomegranate Ginger Glaze recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Veghead

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup pomegranate juice
1/2 cup honey
6 slices fresh ginger (quarter size slices)
2 lemons, sliced
24 ounces salmon fillets
sea salt and pepper
arugula or watercress leaf

Steps:

  • Combine pomegranate juice, honey, ginger and lemons in a small saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minures or until reduced by at least half. Remove ginger and lemons. Set aside to cool. Glaze will thicken as it cools.
  • Meanwhile, rinse salmon and pat dry. Sprinkle the sea salt and pepper and cook on a well-oiled grill for 5 - 7 minutes per side or until salmon reaches 150F on a meat thermometer. Serve over a bed of arugula and drizzle with pomegranate glaze.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh salmon fillets that are about 1-inch thick.
  • If you don't have pomegranate molasses, you can substitute balsamic vinegar or lemon juice. However, pomegranate molasses will give the glaze its signature sweet and tangy flavor.
  • To make the glaze, simply combine all of the ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Then, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly.
  • When grilling the salmon, be sure to preheat the grill to medium-high heat. This will help to sear the outside of the fish and prevent it from sticking to the grates.
  • Cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Before serving, brush the salmon with the pomegranate glaze. This will give it a delicious sweet and tangy flavor.

Conclusion:

This recipe for salmon with pomegranate glaze is a delicious and easy way to prepare salmon. The glaze is flavorful and easy to make, and it pairs perfectly with the moist and flaky salmon. This dish is sure to be a hit with your friends and family, and it's also a great way to get a healthy dose of omega-3 fatty acids.
