How to choose delicious ingredients for passion fruit salmon hot pot
How to choose fresh salmon
- For filleted salmon, you should buy fish that has a bright orange color, with evenly distributed fat marbling, bright and smooth, without any signs of browning or unpleasant odor. Fresh salmon should not be mushy and should have a certain firmness.
- You should avoid pieces of fish that are mushy, pale, or have cloudy fat marbling, as these indicate the fish has been stored too long and is not fresh.
- You can buy frozen salmon at supermarkets or reputable grocery stores to ensure quality.
How to choose fresh and delicious passion fruit
You can buy ready-made passion fruit juice in cans or buy fresh passion fruit to extract the juice yourself for better safety and freshness.
- You should buy passion fruits with a dark purple or reddish-brown outer skin; the darker the skin, the sweeter and more fragrant the fruit will be.
- Good passion fruit will have a wrinkled skin, feel light when held, and have a distinctive fragrant smell.
- Fruits with smooth, shiny skin that feel heavy are unripe and sour; if you like to eat shrimp with passion fruit sauce that is sour, you can choose this type.
- Avoid buying fruits that have wrinkled skin but are leaking juice or are soft and mushy, as these indicate old or spoiled fruit.

Prepare the vegetables
For the spring onions, chop the roots finely and slice the leaves thinly.
Buy straw mushrooms, cut them in half, soak in diluted salt water for about 15 minutes, then rinse with clean water, and cut in half again.
Chop the green onions. Wash the tomatoes and cut them into wedges. Slice the onion thinly.

Marinate the salmon
Wash the salmon with diluted salt water, then rinse with clean water and pat dry.
How to clean salmon without fishy smell
- Using white wine: Wash the salmon thoroughly, mash some ginger or blend it with a little white wine, then rub the salmon with this mixture and let it marinate for about 5 – 10 minutes, then rinse with water. Finally, pat the salmon dry.
- Using lemon: Squeeze fresh lemon to extract juice, mix the freshly squeezed lemon juice with clean water and add a little salt. Soak the salmon in this mixture, flip it over, and then rinse with water.
- Using fresh milk: Pour fresh milk into a large bowl, add the salmon, ensuring the milk covers the fish. Soak for about 3 – 5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly; the fish will no longer have a fishy smell.
After cleaning, proceed to cut the salmon into bite-sized pieces, marinate with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 1 tablespoon of passion fruit juice, and 1 tablespoon of chopped spring onions. Mix well and marinate the fish for about 30 minutes to allow the fish to absorb the seasoning, then arrange the fish on a plate and sprinkle onion on top.
Tip: Marinating salmon with passion fruit juice and spring onions helps eliminate the fishy smell and enhances the flavor of the fish when served with hot pot broth.

Fry the shrimp chips
Place a pan on the stove, add cooking oil and wait for the oil to heat up, then add the shrimp chips and fry them until they puff up evenly, then remove and let them drain.

Cook the hotpot broth
Place a pot on the stove, add the shallots and sauté until fragrant. Add the tomatoes and stir-fry until soft, then add 1.5 liters of water to the pot and bring it to a boil.
When the water starts to boil, add the straw mushrooms to the pot and cook until done.
Season the broth with 2 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, and 2 tablespoons of rock sugar, stirring well.
Tip: Use rock sugar instead of granulated sugar to give the broth a subtle sweetness.
Finally, lower the heat and add the passion fruit juice and chopped green onions, stirring well for an additional 2 minutes before turning off the heat.

Final Product
When serving, keep the hotpot broth boiling, then dip the vegetables and salmon in and enjoy.
The salmon and passion fruit hotpot has a very appealing tangy taste. The salmon is delicious, sweet, and does not have any fishy smell, and pairing it with various vegetables stimulates the taste buds tremendously.
Successful execution tips:
- Marinate the salmon beforehand with spices to help the fish absorb flavors, eliminate the fishy smell, making it tastier when eaten.
- Do not leave the salmon too long in the hot pot to avoid it becoming mushy, which will not taste good.
- With this hot pot dish, you can enjoy it with some types of vegetables like water spinach, cabbage, pumpkin flower, bean sprouts,… and you should keep the hot pot broth simmering throughout the meal, adding salmon, vegetables, and shrimp crackers as you go to prevent the fish from being overcooked and mushy.
- This dish is served with shrimp crackers instead of noodles to reduce carbohydrate intake, which is very good for those who are on a weight loss diet.
