Pan Seared Scallops And Fennel With Mango Beurre Blanc Recipes

Steps:

• For the beurre blanc: Heat the oil in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and sweat with a pinch salt until just softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring to combine. Add the wine and vinegar and simmer until the liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add the cream (this will help stabilize your sauce and keep it from breaking) and simmer until reduced by one-third, 5 to 7 minutes. Strain the sauce into another warm saucepan over low heat. The sauce should remain warm, but never hot, or the sauce will break. On low or no heat, whisk in a few pieces of the butter at a time. Wait until each addition is incorporated before adding more butter. Once all of the butter is incorporated, add the lemon juice and combine. Set aside in a warm spot to hold. Just before serving, whisk in the white chocolate.
• For the seared scallops: In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it has a nice sheen and you can feel the heat coming off of the skillet. Dry your scallops well using paper towels, sprinkle each side with salt and pepper and add them to the hot skillet. Once the bottom of the scallops start to brown around the edges, add the butter to the skillet to help them caramelize. Let the butter melt, flip the scallops and cook until golden brown on each side and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Toss some pea tendrils and tomatoes with the lemon juice and some olive oil, season with salt and pepper and serve with the scallops and beurre blanc.

Steps:

• Pat scallops dry with paper towels. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add scallops; cook 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown and firm. Remove from pan., Add onion to same pan; cook and stir until tender. Add garlic and pepper flakes; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in pineapple juice. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced by half. Stir in chutney., Return scallops to pan; heat through, stirring gently to coat. Serve with rice; sprinkle with cilantro.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Season scallops with salt and pepper and grill for 3 minutes and finish in oven, about 2 minutes. Boil apple juice and cider vinegar, reduce by half. Add cream and butter.
• Slice apples very thin and cook slowly in a pan with butter and sugar. Cook until lightly brown.
• Place apple slices on plate. Place scallops on apples and pour sauce over the top.

Steps:

• Roll scallops in bread crumbs.
• Put olive oil and butter in a large skillet; stir and heat until hot.
• Add scallops, turning once, until browned on both sides (3-4 minutes); remove from heat.
• Halve lemon and gently squeeze juice over scallops, then sprinkle with cheese.
• Cover with a lid and let steep for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to mingle.

Steps:

• In large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-high heat. Cook scallops in butter about 5 minutes, turning once, until golden brown on outside and white and opaque inside. Remove scallops to serving plate; cover to keep warm.
• Add garlic, shallot, wine and vinegar to skillet, stirring to loosen brown particles. Cook until liquid is reduced to less than half. Reduce heat to low; add 4 tablespoons butter. Cook and stir until butter is melted. Add remaining 3 tablespoons butter; cook and stir until sauce is thickened and creamy.
• Press sauce through fine strainer; discard solids. Pour sauce over scallops. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Sear scallops If necessary, remove the small, tough muscle (called the adductor) found on the side of the scallops (often the fishmonger will have removed it), then slice each scallop in half horizontally so that you have twelve pieces. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Season scallops on both sides with salt. When pan is hot, add enough oil to coat bottom of pan (about 1 tablespoon), and swirl to coat evenly. Working in batches to avoid crowding pan, add scallops and quickly jerk the pan to keep them from sticking. Sear until lightly golden, about 45 seconds; with an offset spatula, turn over and cook until opaque throughout, about 30 seconds more (be careful not to turn too soon or the scallops may tear). Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels and cover to keep warm (if necessary). Repeat with more oil and remaining scallops.
• Serve Heat fennel puree in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm. Spoon 1 tablespoon puree onto each of 12 small plates and top with a scallop slice. Garnish with fennel fronds, and serve.

Steps:

• Mix shallot, fennel fronds, cherry tomatoes, olive oil and vinegar in a small bowl and set aside.
• Pat scallops dry on both sides with a paper towel; they must be extremely dry. Sprinkle one side with kosher salt and a small grind of black pepper.
• Heat oil in a good-quality, nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. When oil is very hot and begins to shimmer and release a slight amount of smoke, place scallops in the pan in a single layer and reduce heat to medium. (Depending on the size of the pan, scallops may have to be cooked in two batches.) Let cook undisturbed for approximately 2 minutes or until bottoms begin to brown and caramelize. Flip scallops, cook for another minute and then remove to a warm plate.
• Turn heat back to medium-high and add wine, lemon juice and hot sauce, stirring to remove browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Reduce for a minute or 2, then turn heat to low. Whisk in butter, a tablespoon at a time, until sauce becomes emulsified and glossy. Stir in any juices from the scallops, then remove from heat.
• To serve, spoon sauce onto four individual plates or a platter, place scallops on sauce and top each with a spoonful of salsa.

Steps:

• Boil first 3 ingredients in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat until mixture is reduced to 1/4 cup, about 10 minutes.

• Strain sauce, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
• Return sauce to pan.
• Season with salt and white pepper.
• Place pan in skillet of warm water.

• Top with sauce and chives.
• Makes 6 first-course or 4 main-course servings.

Steps:

• For the Scallops: Bring oil and clarified butter to to smoking point in a stainless steel saute pan. Pat scallops dry and season with salt and pepper. Add scallop to pan and sear each side. (Don't let high sizzle sound scare you!) For fennel: Quarter bulb and remove core. Thinly slice with a mandoline then saute with butter and season to taste with salt and pepper. For Mango Buerre Blanc: Add shallots to hot stainless steel pan until aromatic. Deglaze with vinegar and add mango nectar. Strain and discard shallot then whisk cubes of room temp butter until sauce is nappe. Be careful not to heat too high to prevent breaking. Season with salt to counteract sweet. To plate, spoon fennel on top plate and place scallop on top. Spoon tiny amount of sauce on scallop and spoon around in abstract patter. Garnish with chives in x pattern against scallop.
