    Not only is this meal healthy but it is simple, quick and very tasty. Oh, and it contains four aphrodisiacs: Salmon, pomegranate, orange (citrus) and lettuce! The pomegranate-orange sauce is sweet and compliments the salmon very well.

    Ingredients

    • Salmon:
    • 1 lb salmon fillets
    • 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
    • Salt, to taste
    • Pepper, to taste
    • Green leaf lettuce
    • Pomegranate seeds, for garnish
    • Pomegranate-Orange Sauce:
    • 1 1/2 c pomegranate juice (3 to 4 pomegranates)
    • 1 large orange, freshly-squeezed
    • 3 tbsp corn starch
    • 3/4 c sugar

    Directions

    1. Drizzle 2 tbsp of the olive oil over the salmon and season with salt and pepper. Set aside for 10 minutes.
    2. Meanwhile, prepare the pomegranate-orange sauce. Sift together the corn starch and sugar in a small bowl. Pour the pomegranate juice and orange juice in a medium sauce pan. Gradually whisk the corn starch mixture into the juice mixtures until well combined. Heat over medium heat and bring to just a boil, stirring occasionally. Turn down the heat to low and allow to simmer until ready to use.
    3. In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the salmon and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until cooked to desired doneness.
    4. Place the salmon over a bed of lettuce and pour the pomegranate-orange sauce over all. Garnish with pomegranate seeds.
    5. Enjoy!
