Published January 16, 2013
Ingredients:
For the salmon
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons honey
4 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
1-inch piece fresh gingerroot, peeled and finely grated
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Eight 6-ounce skinless salmon fillets
For the glaze
¼ cup pomegranate molasses
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
1 tablespoon finely grated lime or lemon zest
Salt, to taste
¼ cup chopped cilantro, for garnishing
½ cup pomegranate seeds, for garnishing
For the salmon, combine soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, lime juice, honey, garlic, ginger, salt and black pepper in a large, shallow dish. Add the salmon fillets and turn to coat all sides. Cover dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
To make the glaze, whisk pomegranate molasses, honey, soy sauce, garlic, fresh ginger and lime or lemon zest in a small bowl. Set aside.
Preheat broiler. Remove salmon fillets from dish and pat dry with paper towels. Spray or oil a large rimmed baking sheet. Place salmon fillets, skin side down, in a single layer on baking sheet. Lightly season salmon with salt and brush fillets with half of the glaze. Broil 4 inches from heat source for about 3 minutes, or until the fillets begin to brown. Brush the fillets, again, with remaining glaze and continue to broil about 3 minutes longer, or until salmon flakes and is cooked through.
Place a fillet on each plate and garnish with cilantro and pomegranate seeds.
