Guest blog and recipe by Emily @wonderwhyimfat.
If you’re looking for a meal that’s as nourishing as it is beautiful, orange and pomegranate salmon is a perfect choice. It’s packed with flavor, color, and nutrients that do your body good — from heart-healthy fats and antioxidants to immune-boosting vitamins and gut-loving probiotics if you pair it right. It’s the kind of recipe that feels fancy (perfect for an NYE party) but is simple enough for a weeknight dinner, all cooked on one pan with bright citrus glaze and crisp asparagus.
Salmon is one of the most nutrient-dense foods you can eat. It’s rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce inflammation, support brain health, and protect your heart. Eating salmon regularly has been linked to improved heart function, better concentration, and even glowing skin thanks to its healthy fats that nourish cells from the inside out.
The orange juice in this recipe adds more than brightness and flavor. It’s loaded with vitamin C, which boosts collagen production, strengthens the immune system, and helps your body absorb iron more efficiently. The gentle sweetness of orange juice balances the savory notes of the salmon, creating a glaze that’s both refreshing and rich in antioxidants that help protect your body from daily stress.
Pomegranates are known for supporting heart health, aiding digestion, and reducing inflammation. They also help protect cells from oxidative damage and can improve circulation. Sprinkled over the salmon, they add texture, a pop of color, and a touch of natural sweetness that ties the whole dish together.
To make this meal even more beneficial, adding capsules of Just Thrive Probiotic can elevate your gut health and digestion. Pairing these spore probiotics with a nutrient-dense meal like this helps your body make the most of all those vitamins and minerals.
With just one pan, a handful of fresh ingredients, and a little time in the oven, you can create something that looks beautiful, tastes incredible, and makes you feel your best from the inside out.
