Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon fillets (four 4 oz fillets)
- 1 tbsp pomegranate molasses
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 garlic clove pressed or grated
- 1/4 tsp Aleppo pepper (or crushed red pepper)
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and place a baking sheet inside to heat up.
- In a bowl, combine pomegranate molasses, olive oil, salt, Aleppo pepper, black pepper, and pressed garlic.
- Lay a sheet of parchment paper on a cutting board and arrange the salmon on top. Spread the mixture over each piece of salmon.
- Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the salmon onto the preheated baking sheet in the oven.
- Bake for 12 minutes until the salmon is cooked through. Actual cooking time may vary depending on your salmon's thickness. Thicker fillets may require a few minutes longer, while thinner ones may cook more quickly.
Notes
- Preheating the baking sheet is optional but will ensure the salmon skin crisps up nicely.
- The cooking time can vary depending on factors such as the thickness of the salmon fillets, individual oven variations, and desired level of doneness. An internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) indicates that the salmon is fully cooked.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, reheat them in a 350°F oven for 20 minutes.
