Seafood Sauce Sauce Mariniere De Georges Blanc Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
• Sprinkle fillets with salt and pepper to taste.
• Rub surface of flat, metal, heat-proof baking sheet with butter. Arrange fillets flat on surface with comfortable space between.
• Hold palm of hand under cold water and when generously wet pat each fillet to coat lightly with water.
• Place baking sheet in oven. If gas oven is used, place it on floor; if electric oven with heating element exposed is used, place sheet on bottom rack. Close door and bake 3 minutes or just until fish loses raw look. Do not overcook or fish will become dry. Serve on individual plates with seafood sauce spooned over.

Steps:

• Heat oil in saucepan and add pureed shallots and onion plus minced garlic. Cook, stirring, about 1 minute without browning. Add court-bouillon and cook 2 minutes. Add hashed tomatoes, thyme, bay leaf and cook, stirring, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
• In separate saucepan blend water and lemon juice. Bring to boil and cook over high heat until reduced by half. Add butter quickly, slice at a time, stirring rapidly with wire whisk. When all butter is melted, continue cooking, stirring rapidly with whisk, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
• To tomato sauce add chives, basil, chervil and tarragon. Stir in butter sauce.

• When thoroughly blended, remove from heat and stir in Grand Marnier. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Scrub mussels. Pull off beards, the tuft of fibers that attach each mussel to it's shell, cutting them at the base with a paring knife. Discard those that do not close when you handle them and any with broken shells. Set aside.
