Fish with Pomegranate

Fish with Pomegranate is a vibrant Lebanese dish that combines tender fish fillets with a sweet and tangy pomegranate sauce, creating a delightful balance of flavors. This dish not only captivates the palate but also offers a colorful presentation, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

• White fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia) - 300 grams
• Pomegranate juice - 100 ml
• Pomegranate seeds - 50 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Lemon - 1, juiced
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix the pomegranate juice, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the fish fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for 15 minutes.
3. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the marinated fish fillets in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
4. While the fish is cooking, prepare a serving plate by drizzling some of the leftover marinade over the bottom.
5. Once the fish is done, carefully place it on the serving plate and garnish with fresh pomegranate seeds and chopped parsley.
6. Serve immediately, optionally with a side of rice or a fresh salad.
