Salmon with Pomegranate
Salmon roasted to perfection, then topped with a fresh chopped herb olive oil and sprinkled with pomegranate arils.
Ingredients
For the fresh herbs in olive oil
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/2 ounce cilantro roughly chopped steams and leaves (small clamshell package)
- 1/2 ounce chives thinly sliced (small clamshell package)
- 1 ounce parsley leaves roughly chopped (about a handful)
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
For the salmon
- 1 1/2 pounds salmon filet
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
For serving
- 1/2 cup pomegranate arils
- 1 lemon cut into wedges (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or tinfoil.
- Combine all ingredient for fresh herbs in olive oil in a small bowl. Stir well. Set aside.
- Place the salmon filet on the baking sheet and sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper.
- Bake the salmon for 8-10 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through (time will vary, but a good rule of thumb is to cook the fish 8-10 minutes per inch of thickness). I usually broil the salmon for the last 1-2 minutes so it gets a bit crispy on the outside. Remove from oven.
- Top salmon with fresh herbs and olive oil. Sprinkle salmon with pomegranate arils.
- Serve with lemon wedges.
