Pom Stuffed Halibut

• Juice from 2-3 large POM Wonderful Pomegranates,* or 1 cup POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice
• 2 pounds firm-fleshed, 1/2-inch thick halibut filets
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup olive oil or butter
• 1 onion, peeled and thinly sliced
• 3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 tablespoon slivered candied orange peel
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1/4 teaspoon ground saffron, dissolved in 2 tablespoons hot water
• Garnish:
• 2 tablespoons arils from 1 large POM Wonderful Pomegranate
• 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts

1. 1. Rinse fish in cold water. Pat dry with paper towel and rub both sides with salt. Set aside. Preheat oven to 400F.
2. 2. Prepare fresh pomegranate juice.*
3. 3. Heat 1/4 cup oil in large frying pan and brown onion and garlic. Add all ingredients except the saffron water and lime juice and cook for 3 minutes. Mix well and remove stuffing from heat.
4. 4. Lay fish out on a baking dish. Place a layer of stuffing on one end of the fish about 1 inch long and gently roll from the stuffing end; pin closed if necessary.
5. 5. Pour the saffron water, the remaining oil and the lime juice over the fish.
6. 6. Prepare garnish - Score 1 fresh pomegranate and place in a bowl of water. Break open the pomegranate underwater to free the arils (seed sacs). The arils will sink to the bottom of the bowl and the membrane will float to the top. Sieve and put the arils in a separate bowl. Reserve 2 tablespoons of arils from fruit and set aside. (Refrigerate or freeze remaining arils for another use.)
7. 7. Place in the oven and bake 10-15 minutes (until the fish flakes easily with a fork), basting from time to time.
8. 8. Arrange the fish on a serving platter. Pour the sauce from the baking dish over the fish and garnish with walnuts and pomegranate arils.
9. *For 1 cup of juice, cut 2-3 large POM Wonderful Pomegranates in half and juice them with a citrus reamer or juicer. Pour mixture through a cheesecloth-lined strainer or sieve. Set the juice aside.
