Ingredients

  • ½ cup pomegranate juice
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 4 salmon filets

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 400˚F.
  • In a large bowl, pour the pomegranate juice, soy sauce and the garlic. Mix everything well. Add the salmon and cover the bowl with an aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.
  • Place salmon (skin side down) on a parchment-line baking sheet and bake it for 7 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium-high heat pour the marinade. Bring to a boil for 3 to 5 min., until thick and syrupy.
  • Remove the salmon from the oven after 7 minutes and pour half of the reduced marinade over the salmon. Return the salmon to the oven and bake for more 5-7 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through.
  • Transfer the salmon to four plates and pour the rest of the marinade sauce over the salmon. Serve it with rice, salad and/or roasted veggies.

Notes

  • And if you love salmon recipes, I have HERE a list of other delicious salmon recipes for you to try.
  • Patting the salmon fillets with a paper towel will help absorb any excess moisture, so the marinade absorbs better into the salmon.
  • Do not pack the salmon tightly together, so the hot air in the oven can reach all of the salmon fillets.
  • Buy fillets uniform in size so they cook evenly in the oven.
  • To store: Put leftover salmon into an airtight glass container and keep for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat: Rewarm leftovers in the microwave or eat it chilled. 
  • To freeze: Freeze in a freezer-safe bag once the salmon fillets have reached room temperature. Freeze for up to 4 months.
