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.

The recipe was missing some instructions. I wasn't sure how long to cook the salmon or what temperature to set the oven to.

The salmon was a bit dry. I would recommend cooking it for a shorter amount of time.

The glaze was a bit too thick for my liking. I would recommend thinning it out with some water or pomegranate juice.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less pomegranate molasses or adding some lemon juice to balance out the sweetness.
