How to Make Salmon With Pomegranate And Orange Salsa

  1. In a bowl, whisk together 2 cloves crushed garlic, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon fennel seeds, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1/4 cup dry white wine, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Place salmon fillets (about 1.5 lbs) in a shallow dish and pour marinade over them. Marinate for 1-2 hours in the refrigerator.
  3. While the salmon marinates, prepare the salsa: Combine 1 cup pomegranate arils, 1 orange (supremed, about 1 cup segments), 1 tablespoon orange juice, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1/4 cup finely diced red onion, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1-2 serrano peppers (finely minced, adjust to taste), 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a medium bowl.
  4. Stir the salsa well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated salmon fillets and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flaky. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fillets.
  6. Serve the salmon immediately, topped or accompanied by the refreshing pomegranate and orange salsa.
