Pomegranate Sumac Salmon with Seared Lemons
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.
