Ingredients
2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
1 1/2 teaspoons sweet chili sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 clove garlic, grated
2 teaspoons honey
Juice of 1 lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Four 8-ounce center-cut skinless salmon fillets
1/2 cup pomegranate arils
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 serrano pepper, seeded and finely chopped
Directions
Special equipment:
a 6-quart air fryer- Whisk the pomegranate molasses, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, garlic, 1 teaspoon of the honey, half of the lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl until combined. Brush the glaze on top of the salmon fillets and season each with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
- Arrange the fillets in the basket of a 6-quart air fryer, making sure they are not touching. Cook at 400 degrees F until the tops are dark golden brown in spots and caramelized all over and the salmon easily flakes with a fork when gently pressed, 6 minutes for medium rare and 7 minutes for medium (see Cook's Note).
- Meanwhile, combine the pomegranate arils, cilantro, olive oil, serrano, remaining 1 teaspoon honey, remaining lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper until well combined.
- Transfer the salmon to a serving platter and spoon the pomegranate relish over top.
