Passion Fruit Sauce Recipes

PAN FRIED SALMON WITH PASSION FRUIT SAUCE

Steps:

• Remove the salmon from the fridge and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes before cooking.
• Use a sharp chef's knife to make 3 or 4 shallow cuts on the skin side of each fillet, being careful not to cut into the flesh. Season the salmon on all sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat one tablespoon of butter on a large nonstick skillet, over medium-high heat. Add the fillets, skin side down, and pan fry until the skin is crispy and releases easily from the pan, about 4 minutes. Carefully flip the fillets with a spatula, and cook the flesh side until firm and golden brown, no more than 1-2 minutes. Remove the fish to a plate and reserve.
• Lower the heat to medium and place the skillet back on the stove. Add another tablespoon of butter and the cornstarch, whisking to make a roux.
• Start pouring the passion fruit juice, whisking constantly to thicken the sauce, about 1-2 minutes. Once the sauce is thickened to the desired consistency, add the honey, fresh passion fruit flesh (if using) and a pinch of salt. Remove from heat and add one tablespoon of cold butter, whisking vigorously to emulsify.
• Taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness as needed.
• Arrange the salmon skin side-down on a platter, with the passion fruit sauce spooned over the fillets.
• Serve immediately.

SALMON WITH PASSION FRUIT SAUCE

Steps:

• Make sauce: Put passion fruit pulp and honey in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, 10 - 15 minutes. Set aside.
• While sauce is cooking, prepare salmon. Pat salmon dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon, skin side up. Use a splatter guard if you have one. Cook for 3 minutes. Carefully flip salmon over with a spatula and cook 3-5 more minutes, until it reaches your desired doneness. (A thinner fillet will be done in less time. Fish should flake easily or reach internal temperature of 145 degrees.)
• Serve salmon with passion fruit sauce and garnish with cilantro or parsley.

THROWDOWN'S CHOCOLATE-COCONUT BREAD PUDDING WITH PASSION FRUIT SAUCE

Steps:

• For the Ganache:
• In a small bowl place the chocolate. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat bring the cream to a simmer and then pour over the chocolate. Let the chocolate mixture sit for 30 seconds and then whisk until smooth, keep warm.
• For the Bread Pudding:
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Line a large baking sheet with parchment and add the diced brioche. Drizzle with the melted butter and toss to coat. Bake in the oven and lightly golden brown. Removing and tossing several times. This should be repeated for about 12 minutes. Once the bread has evenly browned, remove and let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile in a medium saucepan over high heat, combine the cream, coconut milk, sugar and vanilla bean and seeds in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer and whisk until the sugar has dissolved. Add the chopped bittersweet chocolate and whisk until melted. Strain the mixture into a medium size bowl.
• In a separate medium bowl whisk together the eggs and yolks and slowly add the warm chocolate mixture, whisking as you add.
• Place half of the brioche cubes in a single layer in the bottom of a 9 by 13-inch baking dish. Pour 1/2 of the custard mixture over the bread and half of the ganache. Sprinkle with half of the coconut. Press down on the bread, allowing the liquid to soak in. Place the remaining bread cubes over the top, add the remaining custard and ganache and again, press down to completely submerge the bread.
• Top with the remaining coconut, cover and let sit for at least 30 minutes before baking. While the bread is sitting continue to check and press down on the bread so that it is completely submerged with the custard mixture.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Uncover the bread pudding, and place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan. Fill the outer roasting pan with warm water until it comes halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
• Place the roasting pan in the oven and bake until the sides are slightly puffy and the center is slightly set (but still jiggles a bit).
• For the Passion Fruit Sauce:
• Into a small saucepan cut the passion fruit in half and scoop out centers (including the seeds). Add the sugar, orange juice and rum and let cook over high heat until sugar has dissolved and sauce has thickened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and chill in the refrigerator.
• For the anglaise:
• Split vanilla bean. In a small heavy saucepan bring milks and vanilla bean half just to a boil and remove pan from heat. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean halves into milk and reserve pod for another use. In a bowl whisk together yolks and sugar. Add milk in a stream, whisking, and transfer custard to saucepan. Cook custard over moderately low heat, stirring, until thickened slightly and an instant-read thermometer registers 170 degrees F. Pour custard through a fine sieve into a metal bowl set in a large bowl of ice and cold water and cool, stirring occasionally, until cold. Sauce may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, its surface covered with plastic wrap.
• Remove the pan to a baking rack and let sit for 15 minutes. Spoon some of the coconut anglaise into a bowl and drizzle with the passion fruit sauce. Top with a large scoop of the bread pudding and serve.

CREAMY GELATIN WITH PASSION FRUIT SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix gelatine and 1 cup milk in microwaveable bowl. Let stand 5 min. Microwave on HIGH 2 min. or until gelatine is completely dissolved; stirring after each minute.
• Blend remaining milk, sour cream, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in blender until smooth. Blend in gelatine mixture. Pour into 8-cup mold sprayed with cooking spray. Refrigerate 3 hours or until firm. Meanwhile, cook and stir passion fruit and piloncillo on medium heat 10 to 12 min. or until piloncillo is dissolved, stirring constantly. Cool completely. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Unmold gelatin onto serving plate; drizzle with half the fruit sauce. Serve with remaining sauce.

PASSION FRUIT CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine sugar, 1/2 cup water, and corn syrup in heavy large saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush. Increase heat and boil without stirring until syrup turns medium amber color, swirling pan occasionally, about 8 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Whisk in butter, then passion fruit concentrate (mixture will bubble up). Simmer over medium-low heat until color deepens to rich brown and caramel thickens enough to coat spoon thickly, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes. Transfer sauce to bowl. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm slightly before serving.)
