This sweet and salty roasted salmon with pomegranate recipe has a little sweet with its savory.

Salmon is one of the healthiest fatty fish out there. Wild Alaskan salmon is among the purest of all ocean fish, which is why major governmental and consumer organizations recommend it without reservation. A rich source of essential omega-3s, vitamin D and astaxanthin (the red-orange pigment that colors the flesh), wild salmon is king when it comes to flavor. Salmon lends itself to a variety of preparations, from grilling and smoking to baking and poaching.
