Pomegranate Salmon Recipe.

Pan-fried in sumac and pomegranate, this salmon has a fresh, woodsy flavor with just enough sweetness to balance it out. If you haven’t ever really tried Middle Eastern food before, it’s a simple way to start without committing to a huge rack of expensive new spices. And if you’re already a sumac fan, this is definitely a dish to add to your repertoire, not least because wild-caught salmon is one of the most nutrient-dense foods around.
