ORANGE POMEGRANATE SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. Place a 28x18-in. piece of heavy-duty foil in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Place onion slices in a single layer on foil. Top with salmon; sprinkle with salt. Arrange orange slices over top. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds; drizzle with oil. Top with a second piece of foil. Bring edges of foil together on all sides and crimp to seal, forming a large packet., Bake until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 25-30 minutes. Be careful of escaping steam when opening packet. Remove to a serving platter; sprinkle with dill.

SALMON WITH POMEGRANATE GLAZE

Steps:

• Whisk pomegranate juice, soy sauce, and garlic together in a shallow non-reactive bowl until marinade is well mixed. Add salmon and turn to coat. Cover and marinate for 15 minutes.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; add garlic from the marinade and cook until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the marinade and cook until reduced and thickened to a glaze, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook salmon on the preheated grill until flesh flakes easily with a fork, about 3 minutes per side. Serve salmon topped with glaze and garnished with pomegranate seeds.

POMEGRANATE-GLAZED SALMON WITH ASPARAGUS-MINT CITRUS SALAD

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-AVOCADO SALSA

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.

SALMON WITH POMEGRANATE GINGER GLAZE

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.

SALSA-BAKED SALMON NACHOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Generously grease the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
• Combine salsa, ground chipotle, and cumin in a bowl.
• Sprinkle red onion and jalapenos in an even layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place salmon filets over top and season with salt. Generously spoon salsa over the filets and distribute remaining salsa over onions and jalapenos.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven, until salmon is moist and tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 130 degrees F (55 degrees C), about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss diced avocado with lemon juice in a small bowl. Thin sour cream with water in another bowl.
• Divide chips between two serving plates. Spoon onion-jalapeno mixture over top, along with any accumulated juices, then top with avocado, cilantro, and green onion. Place a salmon filet on top of each plate and drizzle with sour cream. Sprinkle with more green onions and serve with lime.

POMEGRANATE ORANGE SALSA
