Ingredients
Scale
- ¼ cuppomegranate molasses
- ¼ cupmaple syrup
- 1 tablespoonbutter
- 1 tablespoonvanilla extract
- 1 teaspoondried rosemary
- ¼ teaspoonsalt
- ¼ teaspoonpepper
- 6pieces of salmon fillets
- Pomegranate seeds and rosemary sprigs (for serving)
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a medium-sized frying pan set over medium-high heat, combine the pomegranate molasses, maple syrup, butter, vanilla extract, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, allowing it to bubble for about 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly; it will thicken as it cools.
- While the sauce cools, lay your salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Pour your thickened pomegranate sauce generously over the salmon, spreading it evenly over the top.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake the salmon for 8-9 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C). Once done, drizzle some of the tasty sauce back on top of the fillets.
Notes
Ensure your salmon is at room temperature before baking for more even cooking.
