Roasted Salmon With Pineapple Pomegranate Relish

 

We do our best to eat salmon at least once a week, and our preferred way to prepare it is to bake it just until it is barely cooked through. I am a huge fan of pomegranates, so when coming up with a fruit relish to top of fish, I decided to combine pineapple with pomegranate arials which was delicious.

  • The high content of omega-3 fatty acids is what makes salmon a nutrition power food. Salmon is low in saturated fat and calories but high in protein.
  • Pomegranates are high in vitamin C and multiple B vitamins and they also contain potassium. The seeds also add fiber. The antioxidant content is why pomegranates are very popular today as antioxidants are believed to fight the free radicals that might contribute to chronic diseases such as cancer.
