Lychees are a delicious fruit we used to eat in Africa and the taste is somewhere between a delicate sweet honey and the combined texture of a pineapple and a peach. They are a creamy white fruit with a hard thin shell.

They are definitely enhanced when you empty the liquid into a saucepan and add in passionfruit juice. Once you reduce the liquid, you can then soak the Lychees in the syrup overnight for a delicious passionfruit flavored Lychee fruit treat.

The Lychees can be sliced and used in exotic sauces served over Salmon. Why just the other night there I was wondering what to do with half a can of Lychees and the idea occurred to me. The recipe uses three Lychees and ingredients like mango chutney and Cabernet Sauvignon.

So to make the Salmon with the Chutney Glaze, fry the salmon in butter or prepare any way you like. If you have a salmon rub or fish spice, you can use it to season the salmon before cooking. I put on rice right when I start to cook the salmon.

The glaze can be made in the same pan. Mix together 1 teaspoon mango chutney, ¼ teaspoon orange zest (remove from orange with a zester), the freshly squeezed juice of 1 orange, 2 tablespoons passionfruit juice, 3 sliced Lychees, dash soy sauce, a splash of Cabernet, pinch dried onions (or you could use shallots), 1/8 teaspoon tapioca ground in a mortar and pestle (thickens the sauce), French sea salt, freshly ground Tellicherry peppercorns.

Pour the sauce into the pan all at once. Add a dollop of butter if you want and then just cook until the sauce turns into a beautiful glaze. Pour over your salmon and I think you will be impressed.

~The Rebecca Review

Fresh lychees are hard to find, especially in smaller quantities. Roland lychees are a perfect solution. The are not syrupy sweet and retain the fleshy yet firm texture. I eat them 'as is' or for use in exotic fruit salads. I'm working on a jam recipe but have had success with lychee coffee cake. Very satisfied.

Just what I was expecting. Very good.
Outstanding und fabelhafte.

Schmecht gut.
