For the Salmon
  • 4 fillets Salmon Substitute with trout or chicken for variety.
For the Glaze
  • 1 cup Pomegranate juice Fresh juice is preferred; bottled juice works in a pinch.
  • 1/2 cup Fresh orange juice Freshly squeezed is best; bottled is also acceptable.
  • 1/4 cup Honey Maple syrup is a great alternative for a different flavor.
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced) Omit for a milder version; however, it enhances flavor significantly.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking dish by spraying it lightly with nonstick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine pomegranate juice, freshly squeezed orange juice, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until well combined.
  3. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the greased baking dish. Pour the glaze generously over the fillets, ensuring they are covered completely.
  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, checking for doneness by flaking the salmon with a fork until it flakes easily and appears opaque.
  5. Allow the salmon to rest for a couple of minutes, then sprinkle fresh pomegranate seeds over the top and drizzle with any remaining glaze before serving.
  6. Serve the glazed salmon on plates, drizzling with extra glaze and pairing with your favorite sides.
