Recipe: salmon with saffron and pomegranate sauce

Ingredients (4 persons)

4 salmon loins

1 glass white wine

1 glass fish stock

1 onion

1 pomegranate

Lamb’s lettuce

Flour

Saffron

Olive oil

Oil, salt and pepper

 

Elaboration

We’ll start off the recipe by preparing the salmon. While the oven is preheating, season the loins with salt and pepper and place onto an oven tray. When the oven is heated, place the salmon into the oven for 10 minutes at 180 degrees.

 

Taking advantage of the fact that the salmon is in the oven, let’s start preparing the sauce. Peel and finely chop the onion, the brown the onion in a frying pan with olive oil.  Once the onion is cooked, add a tablespoon of flour, the white wine and stir until the alcohol has evaporated.

 

The next step is to add the fish stock and some 5 La Mancha saffron strands. Cook for approximately 5 minutes and add the pomegranate seeds to the sauce.

 

Finishing off our recipe by serving the salmon on a bed of lamb’s lettuce and pour the saffron and pomegranate sauce over the dish.
