“I came up with this recipe one New Year’s Eve about 15 years ago to serve at a party. The idea of marinating raw tuna in passionfruit juice seemed very Aussie to me, but I quickly realised there wasn’t enough acidity to make this a ceviche, so I added lime juice as well as chilli and coriander to give it a slightly Asian feel.

500g skinless salmon fillet, pin-boned
2 passionfruit
3 tsp lime juice
1/2 tsp fish sauce
45ml sunflower oil
1 long green chilli, finely chopped
3 tsp caster sugar
Small handful coriander, finely chopped

Method

1.

Put the piece of salmon fillet on a board and slice it across into very thin slices. Lay the slices, side by side on 4 dinner plates. Cover each one with cling film and set them aside in the fridge for at least an hour, or until you are ready to serve.
2.

Shortly before serving, make the dressing. Cut the passionfruit in half and scoop the pulp and seeds into a bowl. Stir in the lime juice, fish sauce, sunflower oil, green chilli, sugar and coriander, then season with 1/2 tsp salt flakes and some freshly ground black pepper.
3.

To serve, uncover the plates, spoon over the dressing and spread it over the surface of the fish with the back of the spoon. Leave for 10 minutes before serving.
