Cranberry and Pomegranate Glazed Grilled Salmon

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (about 200 g per fillet)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Basil and pomegranate pips to garnish (optional)
  • Cranberry Honey and Pomegranate Marinade/sauce
  • 125 ml/ 1⁄2 cup cranberry jelly
  • 80 ml / 1⁄3 cup light soy sauce
  • 60 ml / 1⁄4 cup pomegranate juice 5 ml / 1 t smoked Paprika
  • Juice of 1 lime

Method

In a small bowl whisk together the cranberry jelly, soy sauce, cranberry juice, smoked paprika and lime juice.

Place the salmon filets in a large ziplog bag. Pour half of this sauce over the salmon fillets, close the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400° F. Line a baking sheet with silicon paper.

Remove salmon from the marinade and place them on the lined baking sheet. Lightly season with salt and pepper.

Bake the fillets for 12 – 15 minutes or until they are done to your liking.

I brushed mine with the marinade once during cooking, then threw the marinade away.

To make the sauce

Place the remaining sauce into a small saucepan and bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat and cook for about 5 min until the sauce has reduced to a glaze.

Remove salmon from the oven, place on a beautiful plate.

Drizzle the sauce over the salmon and garnish with pomegranate pips and fresh basil.
