Canned salmon is more affordable and still nutritious.

Marinate salmon fillets in pomegranate juice, sumac, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

Remove salmon from marinade, allowing excess to drip off.

Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill or skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden.

Flip salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through and flaky.

While salmon cooks, slice lemons in half and brush with olive oil.

Place lemons cut-side down on the grill or skillet until charred, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove lemons and set aside.

In a small bowl, mix honey, chopped parsley, diced red onion, cumin, paprika, coriander, and chili flakes for a fresh topping.

Serve salmon with seared lemons and drizzle with the parsley mixture.

Garnish with additional parsley and serve immediately.
