Salmon with Pomegranate Tea Glaze

When I share a fish recipe, I often mention that fish has been an acquired taste for me.  As you read through my fish recipes you will see the progression from me stating that I don’t like fish, to “I’m not that fond of fish” to “I have come to love mild fish” to “I have learned to enjoy salmon.”  This recipe for Salmon with Pomegranate Glaze is the official last step in my progress as I have finally found a Salmon recipe that I absolutely love.

I have enjoyed my salmon with balsamic glaze, but the more vinegar you use, the more sugar or honey you must use. I decided to use pomegranate tea to add flavor to the glaze,. Using flavored tea allowed me to use less pomegranate vinegar and consequently less sugar. Yes, I am feeling ridiculously healthy right now.
