Salmon With Pomegranate Ginger Glaze Food

SALMON WITH POMEGRANATE GLAZE

Steps:

• Whisk pomegranate juice, soy sauce, and garlic together in a shallow non-reactive bowl until marinade is well mixed. Add salmon and turn to coat. Cover and marinate for 15 minutes.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; add garlic from the marinade and cook until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the marinade and cook until reduced and thickened to a glaze, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook salmon on the preheated grill until flesh flakes easily with a fork, about 3 minutes per side. Serve salmon topped with glaze and garnished with pomegranate seeds.

POMEGRANATE SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment or foil.
• Combine pomegranate molasses, chili sauce, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a small liquid measuring cup. Stir the mixture into a syrupy sauce.
• Place salmon on the baking sheet, skin side down, and loosely scrunch up the parchment or foil around the salmon. Pour the pomegranate glaze on top of each piece, and brush gently into an even coat.
• Place pan in the oven and roast for 10-20 minutes, until the salmon is fully cooked. Fully cooked salmon will turn from a translucent, raw red to a more opaque pink color, and should flake easily into large pieces when pressed with a fork.
• Transfer salmon to a serving plate, garnish with fresh pomegranate arils and herbs, and serve.

GINGER-GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Combine the olive oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, maple syrup, Chinese mustard, Sriracha and garlic in a large bowl. Pour one-third of the mixture into a small bowl and reserve. Add the salmon fillets to the large bowl. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to coat the skillet. Add the salmon skin-side down and cook until crispy, 5 minutes, lowering the heat if the glaze starts to get too dark in the pan. Baste the flesh side with the reserved marinade. Flip and cook until the salmon is cooked through and the flesh side is golden brown, 3 to 4 more minutes. Transfer to a platter and top with the chopped scallions and sesame seeds.

SALMON WITH POMEGRANATE GINGER GLAZE

Steps:

• Combine pomegranate juice, honey, ginger and lemons in a small saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minures or until reduced by at least half. Remove ginger and lemons. Set aside to cool. Glaze will thicken as it cools.
• Meanwhile, rinse salmon and pat dry. Sprinkle the sea salt and pepper and cook on a well-oiled grill for 5 - 7 minutes per side or until salmon reaches 150F on a meat thermometer. Serve over a bed of arugula and drizzle with pomegranate glaze.

POMEGRANATE-GLAZED SALMON WITH ASPARAGUS-MINT CITRUS SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil; prepare an ice water bath. Blanch the asparagus in the boiling water, then transfer to the ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain, then cut the asparagus spears on the bias into thirds.
• Zest the orange, remove and discard the peel and cut the flesh into segments; squeeze the juice from the remaining membranes into a large bowl.
• Add the vinegar, mustard and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to the bowl with the orange juice; whisk together. Add the orange zest and segments, asparagus, lima beans, hazelnuts, mint, parsley and scallions and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
• Position an oven rack in the second position from the top and preheat the oven to broil.
• Heat a nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Season all sides of the salmon with salt and pepper. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil to the skillet. Place the salmon fillets in the skillet skin-side down and cook for 1 minute.
• Set aside some of the Pomegranate Glaze in a separate bowl for serving, then brush the salmon liberally with the remaining glaze, being careful not to let too much drip down as the glaze will burn and hinder the crisping of the skin. Transfer to the oven and broil until the glaze is caramelized and the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 125 degrees F, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Serve over the asparagus salad with a couple smears of the reserved glaze on the side.
• Whisk together the pomegranate juice, honey, sugar, mustard, cornstarch and some salt and pepper in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes. Let cool.

FAST SALMON WITH A GINGER GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Season salmon fillets with salt.
• Place salmon on the preheated grill; cook salmon for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
• Combine water, rice vinegar, brown sugar, chile paste, ginger, garlic, and soy sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat.
• Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer until barely thickened, about 2 minutes.
• Sprinkle basil on top of salmon; spoon glaze over basil.
