Steps:
- Place the beans and the broth in a saucepan over medium heat and simmer until tender. Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette by whisking all ingredients together. Set aside.
- Begin the sturgeon by combining the sake, ginger, cilantro and pepper and coating the fillets with the mixture. Refrigerate. Begin the ginger butter by combining all the ingredients except the butter, red pepper and salt, in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until the mixture is reduced to a syrup consistency, about 20 minutes.
- While the ginger butter is cooking, drain the beans. Melt 2 teaspoons butter in a medium nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Add the beans and shallots, lightly season with salt and pepper stir and cook until shallots brown, about 5 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wipe the marinade off the fish. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in an ovenproof skillet. Sear the fillets, about 1 minute per side. Place in the oven and roast until cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, finish the ginger butter: Whisking constantly, drop the cold butter, a few bits at a time, into the the ginger syrup over very low heat. Remove from heat and stir in red pepper and salt. Set aside.
- When the fish is done, remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside. Place the pan over medium heat. Add the squid and saute until done, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
- To serve, coat 6 plates with the plum vinaigrette. Divide the bean mixture among the plates, placing it in the center. Place a sturgeon fillet over the beans. Top with the squid, season lightly with salt and pepper to taste and drizzle with ginger butter. Serve immediately.
