Ingredients
Method
Pomegranate Maple Balsamic Glaze
- To get the seeds out of the pomegranate, cut it in half, and use a wooden spoon to knock the seeds out into a bowl.
- Juice it by squeezing the juice out from the seeds. I used a masher then strain it to get the juice.
- Reserve some seeds for garnishing.
- Whisk all the ingredients together and bring it to a boil in a heavy bottom saucepan over med heat.
- Lower to simmer until glaze consistency.
- Set aside until ready to use.
Crispy Skin Salmon
- Clean the salmon and make sure that salmon skin has no scales.
- Pat dry, with your fingers and thumb, roll salmon so you get a little c shape hump, and score the salmon skin crosswise with a sharp knife about 1/2 inch deep.
- Try to score the skin as close as possible to get extra crispy skin.
- Rub olive oil all over the salmon skin.
- Season generously with salt and pepper, get into the slits too!
- Turn and season the flesh side of the salmon.
- Heat pan on med heat high with oil.
- When oil is shimmering, add salmon skin side down, and hold it down for 3 seconds.
- Do not touch/move/flip fish, allow it to sear and cook for 2-3 mins, before checking.
- Flip salmon carefully and allow to cook for another 2-3 mins, or until done.
