Salmon With Pomegranate-Avocado Salsa

Salmon With Pomegranate-Avocado Salsa

Time: 31 mins

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons ground coriander
• 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• pomegranate seeds, from one pomegranate
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 teaspoons minced seeded jalapenos
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 avocados, diced
• 4 (6 ounce) centre-cut salmon fillets (about 6oz/170g each)
• 1 head romaine lettuce, heart torn small

Directions

• 1 In small bowl combine coriander, salt, sugar.
• 2 Up to 24 hours before serving, combine pomegranate seeds, onion, lime, jalapeno, garlic.
• 3 Up to 4 hours before serving, gently fold in avocado. If holding more than 30 minutes, cover surface of the salsa with plastic wrap and refrigerate (prevents discolouration of avocado).
• 4 Rub coriander mixture onto tops of salmon, I only used 2/3 of the rub.
• 5 Arrange on baking sheet skin side down. Bake in preheated 500F oven for approximately 11 minutes for medium-rare. Cook time is personal preference.
• 6 While salmon is cooling, arrange 1/4 of lettuce on each plate.
• 7 Off to the side but still touching lettuce, place 1/4 of the salsa.
• 8 Slide a knife under each piece of salmon and remove skin.
• 9 Now plate the salmon in an eye-pleasing manner.
• 10 Ring the dinner bell, listen to the ohs and ahs as your guests admire the beauty and savour the dish you created.
