Ingredients for Salmon Marinade and variations

The ingredients in this recipe are:

Salmon

Red Onions

Pomegranate 

Orange

Pomegranate Molasses

Garlic Cloves

Brown Sugar

Red Chilli Flakes

Ground Cumin/Coriander

Salt and Pepper

If you don't have pomegranate molasses, use tamarind paste. If you don't like the idea of oranges, use lemons. If you don't have brown sugar use maple syrup. If you prefer, use honey but add it after the salmon is baked.

How long can you marinate salmon?

Marinate for no longer than 30 minutes. I wouldn't recommend longer and I don't think Salmon needs a long marinade either.

Orange and Pomegranate Salmon is a quick healthy meal

Salmon is healthy and versatile, and is quick to make and evidently i can't stop making it recently! It has become such a regular in our home, and I rarely made salmon before!

Regular recipes in our home include Salmon and Vegetable Traybake with Coconut Rice as well as the one I make most often which is Oven Baked Salmon. These also work well for meal prep!

A recent addition is this Salmon Curry – Indian. Initially my husband looked at the curry recipe and didn't want it. He felt like it wouldn't be for him but then he absolutely loved it and wouldn't stop going on about it.

This Orange and Pomegranate Salmon recipe is a personal favourite. It is filling, and flavour packed. It really is absolutely delicious and a recipe that I adore.

How to make Molasses and Orange Salmon

The method used in this recipe requires very little hands on time. It is as simple as marinading the salmon and oven roasting it.
