Christmas Orange Pomegranate Salmon

By Taste of Home

Prep Time: 10 minutes                     Servings: 4                

Bake: 25 minutes

Total:  35 minutes

Ingredient List:

• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 Wild Caught Tanner’s Salmon Filet (about 2 pounds)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 medium navel orange, thinly sliced
• 1 cup pomegranate seeds
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh dill

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°. Place a 28x18-in. piece of heavy-duty foil in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Place onion slices in a single layer on foil. Top with salmon; sprinkle with salt. Arrange orange slices over top. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds; drizzle with oil. Top with a second piece of foil. Bring edges of foil together on all sides and crimp to seal, forming a large packet.

2. Bake until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 25-30 minutes. Be careful of escaping steam when opening packet. Remove to a serving platter; sprinkle with dill.

This next recipe is the simplest (and possibly most delicious) recipe you’ll make all year. Made with our alder smoked salmon, this holiday spread highlights that fresh caught, perfectly smoked Alaskan salmon taste. Switch up the taste of your dip with our three flavors: Traditional, Cajun, or Black Pepper.

The taste of our smoked salmon pairs perfectly with smooth cream cheese, for an explosion of flavor on a cracker. The key? When someone asks how you made such a delicious holiday spread, act like you spent all day in the kitchen making it.

We hope this taste of Alaska will bring joy to your holidays at home. We know it has been a tough season, and many have not been able to travel. Our fresh, wild caught fish can make you feel like you are sitting in a fishing lodge enjoying Alaska’s best, and bring excitement as you look toward a future of new possibilities.
