Pomegranate-Glazed Salmon

Americans -- I hope everyone's Thanksgiving was good!  I'm sure you all gorged yourselves in glorious gluttony :).

This is a nice, light recipe for salmon that can help you lighten up your diet a bit for a few days!

I think you could even use some leftover cranberry sauce in place of the pomegranate molasses, hehe.

Ingredients:

4 6-ounce filets of salmon, skin-on (or adjust to however many people you are serving)

Rub:
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 T. packed light brown sugar
2 t. corn or potato starch
1 t. lemon-garlic seasoning
1 t. coarse salt
1/2 t. black pepper

1/4 cup pomegranate molasses (recipe here)

Instructions:

Prepare the salmon rub in a small bowl.  Sprinkle over your salmon and rub into the flesh.

Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F.


Heat a non-stick grill pan (or sautee-pan, make sure it's oven-safe) over medium-high heat.  Spray liberally with olive oil.  Sear salmon, skin-side-up first, for 2 minutes, until the rub has created a crisp, browned layer.  Carefully flip over and sear on the skin-side for 1 minute more.  Brush with pomegranate molasses and move into the preheated oven.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the salmon is done through.  Brush with pomegranate molasses a few times while baking.


Served with lemony leeks and green beens!
