Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, aluminum foil, or a silicone liner. Lightly grease with avocado oil (you can skip the greasing if you are using a silicone liner).
- Combine the ginger, garlic, orange juice, and 2 tablespoons of the pomegranate molasses in a small bowl. Pour over the salmon in a resealable bag or a nonreactive container and marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Remove the salmon from the marinade and place on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down if your salmon has skin. Discard any remaining marinade.
- Drizzle the remaining pomegranate molasses over the top of each piece of salmon and spread with the back of a spoon or a pastry brush. Wipe up any pomegranate molasses that drips over the side of the salmon, since it would likely burn during cooking.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the salmon is fully cooked. It should be opaque throughout, and the segments should come apart easily.

Notes
Pomegranate molasses is simply pomegranate juice that has been simmered and reduced until it has developed a syrupy consistency. It has a lovely sweet-and sour tang, and its flavor works beautifully with fish, chicken, and lamb. Pomegranate molasses is a staple in Middle Eastern cuisine.
