In this recipe, we’ll teach you how to prepare a flavorful salmon with passion fruit glaze that is absolutely mouthwatering. It is a simple dish to make, yet it features a special, zesty twist that is sure to win over your taste buds.
Ingredients for Salmon with Passion Fruit Glaze:
- Salmon (approx. 1.1 lbs)
- Black pepper to taste (optional)
- Salt to taste
- 2 large passion fruits (pulp and seeds)
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon honey (or sugar)
How to Prepare Salmon with Passion Fruit Glaze:
- Season the salmon with salt and black pepper, including the skin side. Let it rest for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Scoop out the pulp of the 2 large passion fruits and set aside 2 tablespoons of the seeds to garnish the sauce later.
- In a blender, combine the passion fruit pulp, water, and 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour. Blend until smooth, then strain the mixture to remove excess seeds.
- In a pan, add the strained passion fruit juice, the reserved seeds, 1 tablespoon of butter, and 1 tablespoon of honey (or more, if you prefer it sweeter). Simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
- In another skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil (or butter) and sear the salmon, skin-side down. Flip when half of the fillet turns opaque, and cook the other side, being careful not to overcook to ensure it stays tender.
- Serve on a platter with the salmon drizzled generously with the delicious passion fruit glaze.
Pro Tip:
For a special touch, try adding some lemon or orange zest to the passion fruit sauce to further enhance the dish’s flavor. The salmon pairs perfectly with the balance of acidity and sweetness in the sauce, making this an incredible option to surprise your guests at a special dinner.
