SEARED SCALLOPS WITH PAN SAUCE



Seared Scallops With Pan Sauce image

Seven ingredients and one skillet lead the way to home cooking that's as good as anything you'll eat in restaurants.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Scallop     Butter     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Chive     White Wine

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 pounds sea scallops
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup dry white wine or water, or more as needed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Cut 2 tablespoons of the butter into pea-sized pieces, put it on a small plate, and stick it in the freezer. Heat a large skillet over medium-heat high for 3 or 4 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and the olive oil and wait for the butter to melt.
  • Pat the scallops dry with paper towels, add them to the pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper; work in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the skillet. Cook, turning once, until they are well browned on both sides but not quite cooked through, 2 minutes per side (less if the scallops are under 1 inch across; more if they're over). Transfer the scallops to a plate.
  • Stir in the garlic, lemon juice, and wine and scrape all the brown bits off the bottom of the skillet with a spatula. Lower the heat to medium and cook until the liquid in the skillet thickens, a minute or two, then whisk in the butter you chilled in the freezer, one bit at a time, to make a creamy sauce, adding another tablespoon or two of liquid if necessary.
  • Return the scallops to the skillet and add the chives. Adjust the heat so the sauce bubbles gently and toss to coat the scallops with the sauce. To serve, transfer the scallops to a platter and spoon the sauce over all.
  • Variation:
  • Seared Scallops With Cherry Tomatoes and Basil: Skip the lemon juice. Cut 1 pint cherry tomatoes in half. Add the tomatoes with the garlic and wine and cook until they wrinkle a bit and release their juice, 2 or 3 minutes. Use chopped fresh basil leaves instead of chives.
  • Cooks' Notes
  • Releasing From The Pan: The scallops will offer no resistance when they're ready to turn. Press down gently while the scallops cook to encourage full contact with the pan, then listen for a hiss: That's moisture heating and evaporating.
  • Getting A Good Sear: The idea is to brown the scallops well on both sides without overcooking them, so keep the heat as high as you can without creating too much smoke.
  • Building Sauce With Butter: After you add the liquid and deglaze the pan, the addition of butter develops fantastic creaminess and richness.
  • Finishing The Dish: As soon as the scallops are cooked through completely and coated with the sauce, remove the pan from the heat; they will continue to cook. Nick-and-peek into one if you need to check for doneness.

SALMON, SCALLOP, AND PEA TERRINE



Salmon, Scallop, and Pea Terrine image

Categories     Milk/Cream     Food Processor     Appetizer     Bake     Salmon     Scallop     Pea     Chill     Tarragon     Chive     Simmer     Boil     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 pound sea scallops, rinsed, drained, and patted dry
1 cup shelled fresh or frozen peas, cooked until tender, drained, and cooled
1 tablespoon lightly beaten egg white
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon crumbled dried tarragon
1 pound skinless salmon fillet, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
chive butter sauce or tsatsiki
For chive butter sauce:
1/4 cup minced shallot
1/4 cup dry vermouth or dry white wine
2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
2 teaspoons minced fresh chives

Steps:

  • In a food processor purée the scallops and the peas until the mixture is almost smooth, add the egg white, the cream, the salt, and the tarragon, and purée the mixture until it is smooth. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, fold in the salmon, and transfer the mixture to a buttered 1-quart rectangular terrine, smoothing the top and rapping the terrine on a hard surface to expel any air bubbles.
  • Cover the terrine with buttered wax paper and the lid or a double thickness of foil, put it in a baking pan, and add enough hot water to the pan to come halfway up the sides of the terrine. Bake the terrine in a preheated 375°F. oven for 45 minutes. Remove the terrine from the baking pan and remove the lid and the wax paper. Let the terrine stand for 10 minutes, carefully pour off the excess liquid, and invert the terrine onto a platter. The terrine may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. Let the terrine return to room temperature before serving. Cut the terrine into 1/2-inch slices and serve it warm with the chive butter sauce or at room temperature with the tsatsiki.
  • To make chive butter sauce:
  • In a small heavy saucepan combine the shallot, the vermouth, and the vinegar, bring the liquid to a boil, and simmer it until the liquid is reduced to about 1 tablespoon. Reduce the heat to moderately low and whisk in the butter, 1 piece at a time, lifting the pan from the heat occasionally to cool the mixture and adding each new piece before the previous one has melted completely. (The sauce must not get hot enough to liquefy. It should be the consistency of hollandaise.) Stir in the chives and salt to taste. Makes about 1/2 cup.

16 large sea scallops (about 1 3/4 pounds)
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
3 medium red onions, thinly sliced
1/3 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons golden brown sugar
Chopped fresh chives

Top with scallops and any juices, then chives.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest seafood possible. This will ensure that your dish is flavorful and delicious.
  • Don't overcook the seafood. Salmon and scallops are both delicate fish that can easily become dry and tough if overcooked.
  • Season the seafood simply. A little bit of salt, pepper, and maybe a squeeze of lemon juice is all you need to bring out the natural flavors of the fish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the seafood. This will prevent the fish from steaming instead of searing.
  • Serve the seafood immediately. This is when it will be at its best.

Conclusion:

Salmon and scallops are two delicious and versatile seafood options that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, there's a salmon and scallop recipe out there for you. With a little bit of planning and preparation, you can create a seafood feast that will impress your family and friends.
