Sponsored Recipe - Roasted Salmon With Pomegranate-Avocado Salsa
Recipe
by California
Pomegranates
Method
Mix coriander, sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt; reserve.
Up to 4 hours before serving, mix pomegranate seeds, onion,
lime juice, jalapeno, and garlic; gently fold in avocado. If
holding more than 30 minutes, put plastic wrap against the surface
of the salsa, then tightly cover; store in the refrigerator.
Remove about 30 minutes before serving.
Separate the romaine leaves; wash, then dry thoroughly. Reserve
4 of the most attractive for garnish. Slice the remaining leaves
crosswise in thin shreds; reserve.
To prepare the salmon, rub a generous teaspoon of the reserved
seasoning mixture over each piece. Arrange the salmon on a baking
sheet, skin-side down. Roast at 500° F about 11 minutes for
medium rare (Salmon should be spongy when pressed with a finger
at its thickest part.) and 13 minutes for medium-well (Salmon
should be just firm when pressed with a finger at its thickest
part.).
While the salmon cooks, mound 1/4 the shredded romaine on each
of 4 serving plates. Top with 1/2 cup salsa. When salmon is
done let it cool slightly; it should be warm but not hot. Put
a piece of salmon on each plate; garnish each with a reserved
romaine leaf and 2 lime wedges.
