Step 2

Thaw salmon, if frozen. Rinse salmon with cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place salmon on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. In a small bowl combine salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Sprinkle evenly over salmon fillets. Measure thickness of fish. Broil salmon 4 to 5 inches from the heat for 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness of fish or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
Step 3

Meanwhile, for relish, in a large skillet cook carrots and shallot in hot butter over medium heat about 6 minutes or until shallots are tender, stirring occasionally. Add orange sections. Cook for 1 minute more. Drizzle with honey and toss to coat.
Step 4

To serve, spoon relish onto each of four serving plates. Place a salmon fillet on top of relish. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and, if desired, chives.
