Orange Pomegranate Salmon
Orange Pomegranate Salmon is a vibrant and flavorful dish featuring tender salmon fillets glazed with a sweet and tangy sauce made from fresh orange juice, pomegranate juice, honey, and garlic. The salmon is often baked or pan-seared, then topped with pomegranate seeds and fresh herbs for a burst of color and freshness. It’s a healthy, elegant meal perfect for weeknights or special occasions.
Ingredients
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 skinned salmon fillet (about 2 pounds)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 medium navel orange, thinly sliced
- 1 cup pomegranate seeds
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh dill
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°. Place a 28×18-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.
