Pomegranate Sumac Salmon

This 7-minute prep dish is one of those Shabbos/Yom Tov Kodak moments. (OMG, how much did I just date myself with that photo reference?) When you present your side of salmon with pomegranates, seared lemons, mint leaves and all, the entire table will ooh and aah. The best part: it tastes as gooood as it looks.

    I have pomegranate extract from Turkey.
    Can I add a little honey or date syrup to it to substitute for pomegranate molasses ?

      Wow that sounds amazing, but I have never seen it so not really sure how it would work. I would try it though.

        The extract I have is thick – I just added 2 tablespoons of sugar and I’m cooking down a little . I think it will work beautifully!

    If I can’t find pomegranate molasses, is it easy to make some?
