Time 35m

Yield 3 , 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/8 cup pomegranate molasses
1/3 cup water
1/2 cup tomato juice
1 lemon, juice of
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/8 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
sea salt, to taste
1/8 teaspoon cumin
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom (I use freshly ground)
couple pinches allspice
1/2 tablespoon honey
olive oil
1/2 bunch scallion, chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
4 fish fillets (I use haddock)
gluten-free flour, mix (I use a rice flour, and half the amount of tapioca starch)

Steps:

  • Combine pomegranate molasses and water, tomato juice, lemon juice and zest, lime juice, sea salt, spices, and honey in a bowl.
  • In a saucepan heat a few tablepoons of olive oil. Add the scallions and garlic and saute over medium heat until softened, a few minutes. Add the juice mixture and bring to a boil. Taste the sauce: it should be both sweet and sour, add more honey if necessary. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 450°F Get out a baking dish.
  • Pat the fish fillets dry and sprinkle with sea salt, then rub flour on the fillets to coat on both sides.
  • Heat a few spoonfuls of olive oil in a wide pan. Fry the fillets, you want the outside of the fillet to be "sealed" but the inside will not be done.
  • Place fillets in the baking dish. Pour the sauce over the fish and place in the oven. Bake 7-9 minutes, until the fish is just done. Serve immediately, with recipe#443553 or bread.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my fish turned out dry and the sauce was too runny. I think I might have overcooked the fish.
