Salmão ao Molho de Maracujá

Salmão ao Molho de Maracujá is a very popular dish in Brazil, and features one of my all time favourite sauces, “Molho de Maracuja” a creamy, tangy passion fruit sauce. It’s citrus-y flavour works amazingly well with fish but also tastes great with duck and seafood pastas like crab ravioli. It’s great for big groups & makes an amazing show piece at a dinner party. Enjoy!
