Salmon with Pomegranate Sauce Recipe

Posted on 20th of September, 2011 by Lévana

Sweet-and-sour combinations work beautifully with salmon. The onions caramelize and contribute a sweet counterpoint to the vinegar. Another quick and delicious dish, just the way I like it—one pan, one step.

Ingredients:

1 whole side salmon, no skin, no bones, about 3½ pounds, trimmed, or other thick-flesh fish, such as bass

1 large red onion, sliced very thin (use the food processor)

¼ cup olive oil

1 cup pomegranate juice

¼ cup unfiltered apple cider vinegar

2 tablespoons tomato paste

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon turmeric

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place the salmon in a pan just large enough to accommodate the fish in one layer. Scatter the onions on top and on the sides of the fish. Mix the oil, juice, vinegar, tomato paste, salt, pepper, and turmeric in a bowl, and pour over the fish. Cook about 20 minutes, or a tiny bit more until the fish flakes easily and the liquids thicken. Serve hot or at room temperature. Makes 8 main course servings or a dozen or more first course servings.
