Pan Grilled Salmon With Passion Fruit Pulps And Seeds Topping


















I bought some purple passion fruits the other day from the grocer near my place. I chose the wrinkle ones :)  It was sweet and tangy...and what better way to use them as marinade for the salmon steaks that I was going to pan grill for our dinner,  besides using them as topping for cakes.  It was a right choice to use the passion fruit juice ,  for it was a great marinade for the salmon and I was glad that I used the passion fruit seeds as topping for the salmon  :).....the taste was fantastically good ,  the rich aroma of the passion fruit comes the sweet tangy flavor and the rich sea scent of the salmon .....heavenly !





















I love salmon as many of you know it is my favorite fish.  This is so refreshing . Simple and easy to prepare. Press the passion fruit pulps through a sieve , take the juice and marinate the salmon steak for 1/2 hour .  Shake some sea salt on the salmon steak and pan grilled it with grapeseed oil  for 5 -7  minutes on each sides, depending how rare or cooked you ant it to be.  Drizzle some white wine vinegar on it before taking it out of the pan grill.  Scoop the fresh passion fruits pulps and seeds onto the surface of the salmon steak as topping.  This is so delicious!   Good for those who want to keep fit and stay slim . Fresh passion fruit is high in beta carotene, potassium, and dietary fiber.  Passion fruit juice is a good source of ascorbic acid ( Vit C ) and good for people who have high blood pressure . 


















I wish I can have this every day ........ :p


















every bite is heavenly....believe me ,
 this is good and healthy too :)

    I always like passion fruit but can't seems to find it here. I've been looking at every supermarket I went to. I think this fruit goes really well with grill fish.

    Salmon and passionfruit ... what a great idea! I can just imagine the flavors ... the creaminess of the salmon and the tanginess of the fruit. Perfect!
