Ingredients

-8 oysters
-300g piece skinned salmon fillet
-3 large scallop or 6 smaller scallops
-6 large raw tiger prawns
-500ml fresh fish stock
-50g butter
-1 large shallot, chopped as finely as possible
-200ml white wine or dry vermouth, or half of each
-150ml 

-whipping cream large handful mixed soft herbs including parsley
and chives, finely chopped
-1 tbsp lemon juice
-150g fresh spaghetti
-drizzle olive oil
-chervil or parsley
-sprigs, to serve

Directions

1-Prepare all the seafood by first opening the oysters into a sieve over a bowl to catch the juices (see video technique). Trim and slice the salmon into 6 equal-size square chunks. If the scallops are large, cut them in half lengthways. Peel and devein the prawns if needed.

2-Place the strained oyster juice and fish stock into a shallow saucepan and bring to a simmer. First add the salmon and poach for 1 min. Add the prawns and oysters (if using large ones) and poach for 1 min more. Add the scallops and poach for 1 min more, then add the oysters (if small) and simmer everything for a final min until just cooked.

3-Carefully tip the fish and poaching liquid into a sieve over a large saucepan or bowl, keeping all the salmon chunks intact.

4-Heat half the butter in the cleaned shallow pan and add the shallot. Cook very gently for 5 mins until soft but not coloured, then pour in the alcohol and boil until reduced to a few tablespoons. Pour in the poaching liquid and boil down until reduced by half, about 20-25 mins. Stir in the cream and, once more, reduce by half. Turn down to a gentle simmer and whisk in the rest of the butter.

5-Gently add the seafood to the sauce, taking care not to break up the salmon. Simmer lightly until heated through, then add most of the herbs, squeeze over the lemon juice and set aside.

6-Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in plenty of boiling water until just done, about 3-4 mins, then drain well and add back to the pan with a drizzle of olive oil and the rest of the herbs. You are now ready to plate up.

7-Use a roasting fork to twirl a neat bundle of spaghetti. Stand the bundle in the middle of a warm large pasta bowl. Alternate the salmon and seafood around the pasta. Spoon the sauce over the seafood, top the pasta with the chervil or parsley sprigs and serve immediately.

-2 tbsp olive oil
-40g butter
-1 large thyme sprig, leaves only
-4 tbsp Noilly Prat or dry vermouth
-2 tsp Pernod (optional)
-4 tbsp plain flour
-250ml fish, chicken or vegetable stock (a stock cube is fine)
-200 ml milk
-4 tbsp double cream
-3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
-180g skinless salmon fillets
-250g skinless cod or haddock fillets

For the Mashed Potato Topping :
-750g Desirée potatoes, peeled
-75g butter, cubed
-50ml hot milk
-2 large egg yolks
-75g medium Cheddar cheese, grated

Directions

1-Preheat the oven to 200°C/Gas 6. Grease a shallow (about 2 litre capacity) pie dish.

2-Start by making the mashed potato for the topping. Chop the potatoes into chunks and cook in boiling salted water until tender. Drain well and push through a potato ricer, or mash until smooth. Add the butter and hot milk and mix until well incorporated. Allow to cool slightly, then stir in the egg yolks. Season well and put to one side.

3-Sauté the shallots or onion in the oil and butter with the thyme leaves for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the Noilly Prat and Pernod (if using), then cook for 4–5 minutes until reduced right down.

4-Stir in the flour and cook for a minute or so. Heat the stock in a small pan or a jug in the microwave. Gradually stir it into the shallot mixture with a wooden spoon until smooth, and boil for about 5 minutes until reduced by a third. Mix in the milk, lower the heat and simmer for a few minutes. Season well, then add the cream and parsley.

5-Meanwhile, cut the salmon and cod into bite-sized chunks and scatter in the pie dish with the scallops and prawns. Sprinkle with the lemon juice and seasoning. Put the dish on a baking sheet.

6-Pour over the sauce and mix well with a fork. Spread the mashed potato on top and fluff up with a fork. Scatter with the grated cheese and put the pie immediately in the oven. Bake for 10 minutes, then turn the oven down to 180°C/Gas 4, and bake for another 20 minutes, turning if it browns unevenly. Allow to stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Seabream Salsa 231

Ingredients

-Olive oil, for frying
-2 sea bream fillets, about 150g each

For the tomato and herb salsa :
-Olive oil
-200g cherry tomatoes
-60g pitted black olives (Kalamata if possible), drained
-Small bunch of coriander
-Small bunch of basil
-1 lemon
-Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

1-First make the salsa. Place a small saucepan over a gentle heat and add 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Chop the tomatoes in half and add to the oil. Add the olives, season with salt and pepper and stir over a low heat for 1–2 minutes. Set aside.

2-Hold the coriander and basil stalks together and slice down with a sharp knife to shave off the leaves. Discard the stalks, then gently roll the coriander and basil leaves into a ball and chop. Keeping a little back for garnish, add the coriander and basil to the salsa and stir to combine.

 

3-Roll the lemon on a chopping board to soften it and release the juices, then cut in half. Add the juice of one half to the pan, stir and set the salsa aside to allow the flavours to infuse.

4-To cook the bream, heat a heavy-based frying pan over a high heat. Meanwhile, slash the skin of the fillets in 2 or 3 places. Add a dash of oil to the pan and, when really hot, add the bream fillets skin side down. Season and cook for 2–3 minutes until the fish is dark golden and the skin is crisp. (The flesh should be opaque two-thirds of the way up the fillet.)

 

5-Turn the fillets and cook on the other side for 1 minute, basting with the oil in the pan, until just cooked through.

6-To serve, sit the fish fillets on top of the tomato and herb salsa and sprinkle with the reserved coriander and basil.

Tip: To hard boil eggs: Add eggs to a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and turn off heat. Cover with lid and let sit in the hot water for 10 minutes. Rinse under cold water to cool, then peel.

Ingredients

-1 recipe basic egg pasta dough or 1 lb purchased fresh or dried fettuccine
For Sauce:
-1 tablespoon unsalted butter
-2 tablespoons minced shallots
-2 cups heavy cream
-1/4 cup dry Italian white wine
-6 oz medium shrimp, peeled, deveined, halved lengthwise
-1/4 pound sea scallops, sliced crosswise 1/4 inch thick
-1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and cut into thin julienne strips
-1/2 cup oil-cured black olives, pitted and cut in halves
-1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
-Salt and ground white pepper
-Freshly grated nutmeg

Directions

FOR PASTA: Cover and let pasta dough rest for 1 hour as directed. Then, roll out the dough to about 1/16-inch thick. Cut dough into 1/4 inch wide noodles. Separate the pasta strands and toss gently to prevent sticking. Set aside to dry for at least 30 minutes.

FOR SAUCE: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and sauté until almost translucent, about 3 minutes. Pour in the cream and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, until slightly thickened, about 6 minutes. Add the wine and simmer for 1 minute.

Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, gently stirring to prevent the pasta from sticking together, about 3 minutes for fresh pasta and 8 minutes for dried or according to package directions.

While the pasta is cooking, add the shrimp, scallops and sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce and simmer for 1 minute. Add the olives and Parmesan cheese. Raise the heat to high and bring to a boil.

Drain the pasta briefly in a colander and immediately add it to the sauce. Toss well and cook briefly until the pasta is very hot.

Season to taste with salt, white pepper and nutmeg. Transfer to warmed individual plates and serve immediately.

Shrimp and Scallop BisqueIngredients

-2 tablespoons butter
-1 shallot, minced
-1 green onion, thinly sliced
-1 bay leaf
-2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
-1 teaspoon dried tarragon
-1/8 teaspoon cayenne
-3 tablespoons flour

Seafood RisottoIngredients

For Mussels:
-1 tablespoon olive oil
-1 tablespoon minced shallots
-1 tablespoon minced garlic
-1/2 cup dry Italian white wine
-48 mussels in the shell, beards removed and scrubbed
For Risotto:
-2 tablespoons unsalted butter
-2 tablespoons minced shallots
-1 teaspoon minced garlic
-1 cup Vialone Nano, Arborio or Carnaroli rice
-1 3/4 cups fish stock, or as needed, heated
-2/3 cup dry Italian white wine
-4 small dried chilies, optional
-1 cup peeled, seeded and chopped ripe plum (Roma) tomatoes (fresh or canned)
-1/4 pound shrimp, peeled, deveined and chopped
-1/4 pound sea or bay scallops, chopped
-2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

FOR MUSSELS: In a large frying pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the shallots and garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Pour in the wine and add the mussels, discarding any that do not close to the touch. Cover, raise the heat to high, and cook until the mussels open, 3-4 minutes. Remove from the heat and discard any unopened mussels.

Transfer 32 mussels in their shells to a bowl; cover to keep warm. Remove and discard the shells from the remaining mussels, cover and set aside separately. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth (muslin) into another bowl; set aside.

FOR RISOTTO: In a deep saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the shallots and garlic and sauté until the shallots are almost translucent, about 2 minutes. Stir in the rice and cook, stirring, until the edges of the grains are translucent, about 2 minutes. Add enough fish stock to the mussel broth to make 2 1/2-3 cups.

Add 1 cup of the broth mixture to the rice and simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until only a little visible liquid remains, 5-6 minutes. Stir in another 1/2 cup of the broth mixture and again allow the rice to absorb most of the liquid, another 3-4 minutes.

Add 1/2 cup of the wine and the chilies, if using, and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and simmer for 3 minutes. Add another 1 cup broth mixture and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Stir in the shrimp, scallops and shelled mussels and simmer for 2 minutes.

Stir in the remaining wine. Season to taste with salt and white pepper. The risotto should be al dente at this point. If it is too moist, simmer for a few minutes longer; if it is too dry, stir in a little additional stock to achieve the proper consistency. Remove and discard the chilies. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Remove from the heat when there is still a little more liquid than desired, as the rice will continue to absorb it. Mound in warmed shallow bowls and surround each serving with 4 mussels. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve immediately.

Ingredients

12 large, raw, peeled and deveined shrimp
2 Tbsp olive oil
Zest from 1 lime
Juice from one lime (about 2 Tbsp)
1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder (or more to taste)
6 strips thin bacon, cut in half (12 pieces)
Skewers (for grilling) or toothpicks (for oven)

Directions


1 -Mix together in a small bowl the lime zest, lime juice, olive oil, and chipotle powder. Put the shrimp in the lime chipotle mixture; make sure each piece is well coated.

2 -Spread the bacon pieces out over several layers of paper towels on a microwave-safe plate. Cover with another layer of paper towel. Microwave on high until the bacon fat begins to melt but the bacon is still pliable, about 1 1/2 minutes.

3 -Prepare grill on high, direct heat (if grilling) or preheat the oven to 450°F.

4 -Working one at a time, wrap a half piece of microwaved bacon around each piece of shrimp. If you are grilling, thread the shrimp onto long, flat skewers (flat skewers make turning the shrimp on the grill easier). If you don't have flat skewers, I've used two thin bamboo skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes beforehand) to the same effect. If you are using the oven, secure each the bacon onto the shrimp with toothpicks. Place the bacon-wrapped shrimp on a slotted baking pan (lined with foil inside for easy cleaning). Brush remaining lime chipotle mixture on the outside of the bacon-wrapped shrimp.

5 -Grill uncovered for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or bake in the oven for 10-14 minutes, until shrimp is pink and the bacon is crisp.

Ingredients

-1 pound salmon filet without skin
-1/4 cup soy sauce
-1/4 cup honey
-1 tablespoon rice vinegar
-1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
-1 clove fresh garlic, minced
-pinch of freshly ground black pepper
-12 fresh lemon wedges
-12 skewers

Directions

Slice salmon lengthwise into 12 long strips, and thread each onto a soaked wooden skewer. Place in a shallow dish.
In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, vinegar, ginger, garlic, and pepper. Pour over skewers, turning to coat. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. When finished marinating, transfer marinade to a small saucepan, and simmer for several minutes.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
Lightly oil grill grate. Thread 1 lemon wedge onto the end of each skewer. Cook skewers on the preheated grill for 4 minutes per side, brushing often with marinade, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Ingredients

Serves 4
-3 to 4 small purple potatoes (or small red-skinned potatoes), sliced thinly
-4 4-ounce salmon fillets
-6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
-1 cup pecans, finely chopped
-1/2 teaspoon salt, plus additional for seasoning ramps and potatoes
-1/2 teaspoon pepper, plus additional for seasoning ramps and potatoes
-9 ounces baby spinach (or other green)

Directions 

Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook 3 to 5 minutes, until just starting to brown. Stir, flipping potatoes onto other side, and season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook until tender and golden-brown.
Meanwhile, combine the pecans, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Brush salmon fillets with thin coating of oil, then press pecan mixture all over fillets. In a separate pan, heat another tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Cook the salmon in the pan, 5 to 6 minutes per side, until it is opaque and easily flakes in the middle. (If the pecans are darkening too early, you can finish the fish in a 400°F oven for about 5 minutes.) Remove the salmon from heat and set aside.
When the potatoes are tender, spoon them into a bowl and cover, then set aside while you finish the dish. Heat the last tablespoon of oil in pan, add spinach and sauté until just barely wilted, about two minutes.
Plate each serving of salmon with some potatoes and greens.
