Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (5 - 6 oz. each, approximately 3/4 inches thick)
• salt, to taste
• freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 T. canola oil, divided
• 1 T. butter
• 1 small onion, shredded
• 3 T. brown sugar
• 1 c. frozen passion fruit pulp (or homemade)
• 1/2 c. table cream or crème fraîche
• 1/2 c. fresh mint, finely chopped
• 1/2 c. cilantro, finely chopped

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Season the fillets with salt, pepper and 1 T. canola oil, rubbing fillets on both sides. Bake 15 - 17 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. (For a convection oven, bake the salmon at 350° for 13 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork.)
3. Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat butter and remaining canola oil.; add onion; cook over medium-high heat until translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in the brown sugar and passion fruit pulp; cook 1 - 2 minutes; fold in the table cream or crème fraîche; remove from heat.
