What’s your favorite fish in the whole wide world? Mine is without a doubt salmon. It’s probably obvious by all the salmon recipes I’ve posted on the blog. Today I found one of my new favorites, this Pomegranate Glazed Salmon. Not only does it make enough to feed a whole family in under 30 minutes but it’s also incredibly delicious and beautiful. I was inspired by flavors of the middle east with the pomegranate and cumin in the glaze, additionally, I added other ingredients to further enhance the flavor. When you take a piece of the salmon and dip it in the caper sauce, it makes for an incredibly flavorful bite.
