Steps:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil; prepare an ice water bath. Blanch the asparagus in the boiling water, then transfer to the ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain, then cut the asparagus spears on the bias into thirds.
- Zest the orange, remove and discard the peel and cut the flesh into segments; squeeze the juice from the remaining membranes into a large bowl.
- Add the vinegar, mustard and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to the bowl with the orange juice; whisk together. Add the orange zest and segments, asparagus, lima beans, hazelnuts, mint, parsley and scallions and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
- Position an oven rack in the second position from the top and preheat the oven to broil.
- Heat a nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Season all sides of the salmon with salt and pepper. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil to the skillet. Place the salmon fillets in the skillet skin-side down and cook for 1 minute.
- Set aside some of the Pomegranate Glaze in a separate bowl for serving, then brush the salmon liberally with the remaining glaze, being careful not to let too much drip down as the glaze will burn and hinder the crisping of the skin. Transfer to the oven and broil until the glaze is caramelized and the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 125 degrees F, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Serve over the asparagus salad with a couple smears of the reserved glaze on the side.
- Whisk together the pomegranate juice, honey, sugar, mustard, cornstarch and some salt and pepper in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes. Let cool.
POMEGRANATE GLAZED SALMON
I bought a beautiful pomegranate at the store the other day and wanted to somehow incorporate it with the salmon I had to cook. My husband and I don't like salmon all that much but after last night I think we'll be eating it much more often! I think this glaze could work for many fish, even pork tenderloin and chicken breasts. I also think you could easily substitute cranberry juice for the pomegranate.

Steps:
- Marinate the fish in 2 t olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Let sit for about 20 minutes while you prepare the glaze.
- Place the pomegranate seeds in a strainer set over a small bowl.
- With the fork or the back of a spoon, press the seeds against the strainer, forcing the liquid into the bowl.
- Place the juice, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar and soy sauce in a small non-reactive saucepan and cook over medium heat.
- While the glaze is reducing, get a cast iron skillet pretty hot and place fish skin side down (without moving) and let sear for about 1-2 minutes.
- Turn the fish over and while it's cooking on the other side, carefully peel away and discard skin.
- Let cook for about 4-5 minutes or until a nice golden brown color.
- Flip the fish over one last time and let sear on the side you removed the skin from.
- Cooking times vary depending on how thick your cut of fish is, and how done you prefer your fish.
- Remove to a plate and let sit.
- Put the 1 T of butter in the glaze and stir until just melted.
- Drizzle over fish.

Steps:
- Place rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 300 degrees F. Rinse the fish fillets in cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, salt, and corn or potato starch. Rub the flesh side of the fillets evenly with the brown sugar mixture. Sprinkle the fillets lightly with black pepper.
- Grease a nonstick skillet with olive oil or avocado oil, and heat on medium until hot. Place the fillets skin side up, flesh side down into the skillet, and increase heat to medium high. Allow fish to sear for 1 to 2 minutes until a dark golden crust forms. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan-- this will make the fillets difficult to turn. If the pan seems too crowded, work in batches.
- When a dark crust has formed (it should be crispy and might be a little black in places), use a pair of tongs to gently turn the salmon and let the skin side sear for another minute.
- Remove skillet from heat. At this point, you can transfer the fillets onto a lightly greased baking sheet. If your skillet is oven safe - no plastic handle, heat resistant - you can finish the fillets directly in the pan. Brush each fillet with 1 tbsp of pomegranate molasses - 1 tbsp per fillet, 4 tbsp total.
- Transfer fillets to the preheated oven and let them cook for 8-12 minutes longer, or until the internal temperature reaches desired doneness. Thicker fillets may take longer to cook through. 145 degrees F is considered food safe internal temperature for fish, but salmon tends to dry out at higher temperatures. I prefer an internal temperature of 125 degrees F here for best texture, but know that it is not technically considered food safe - so you may want to cook it to 145 F, depending on your personal health situation. Serve fillets fresh from the oven garnished with fresh pomegranate seeds and fresh mint, if desired.
