Crispy Scallop Potato Sandwiches With Citrus Butter Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly grease an 18-by-13-inch sheet pan with the butter.
• Bring the cream, garlic, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat, then turn off stove.
• Thinly slice the potatoes on a mandoline or vegetable slicer (about 1/8-inch-thick rounds.) Arrange half the potato slices into a single, overlapping layer on the sheet pan, and sprinkle evenly with salt and half the grated Parmesan. Top with the remaining potato slices and sprinkle with salt. Drizzle the hot cream mixture evenly over the potatoes.
• Cover the pan with foil and bake until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 20 minutes. Carefully remove the foil and sprinkle the potatoes with Gruyere and the remaining Parmesan. Cook uncovered until very brown and crusty on top, rotating the pan halfway through, 15 to 20 minutes more.

Steps:

• Place the scallops on a paper towel-lined sheet tray and pat dry. Sprinkle the scallops with salt and pepper.
• Preheat a large nonstick saute pan on medium-high heat, then add the oil and heat until shimmering. Add the scallops and sear on one side until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently turn the scallops over and add the Lemon Butter, basting the scallops by gently spooning the melting butter over the top, for about 1 minute.
• Add the wine and lemon juice and allow the scallops to simmer until they are cooked through, another 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the scallops to a platter and sprinkle with the chives.
• Combine the butter, lemon zest, lemon juice and salt in a medium bowl and stir until smooth. Spoon the butter onto the lower third of a piece of plastic wrap. Fold the plastic wrap over the butter and use a spatula to compress the butter into a log about 5 inches long and 2 inches wide. Twist both ends of the plastic wrap to seal the butter inside. Refrigerate the butter until firm, at least 30 minutes, before using.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a large, rimmed baking sheet (18-by-13 inches).
• Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly caramelized, 15 to 20 minutes; if the onions are browning too quickly, reduce the heat to low. When the onions are almost done, stir in the garlic and cook an additional 2 minutes to lightly toast. Remove from the heat.
• Shingle half of the potatoes in 6 or 7 even rows on the prepared baking sheet, making sure the sheet is completely covered. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with half of the fontina and Parmesan. Next, evenly spread the caramelized onions over the top; place the sauté pan back on the stovetop and reserve for later. Shingle the remaining half of the potatoes over the onions, and season with more salt and pepper.
• Turn the heat to medium under the sauté pan. Add the cream, rosemary, Dijon and lemon zest, stir together and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and then pour the cream over the potatoes; tilt the baking sheet slightly in all directions to ensure even coverage. Top with the remaining fontina and Parmesan.
• Cover the baking sheet with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the top is golden brown, the edges are crispy and the potatoes are tender, another 20 to 25 minutes. Let the cool for 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Have all ingredients and utensils ready because it is important to work quickly. Finely shred the potatoes, using a grater, food processor or mandoline. Place in the center of a clean kitchen towel. Pull up the corners of the towel, and squeeze all of the water from the shredded potatoes. Fluff up the potatoes, and divide them in half.
• On a baking sheet divide half of the potatoes into 8 small mounds. Dust each mound with a bit of the flour. Place 2 slices of scallop on each mound. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Place the remaining potatoes evenly over the scallops to make 8 sandwiches. Season lightly with salt and pepper, and dust with a pinch of flour.
• Place 2 9- or 10-inch saute pans over medium heat, and add 1 cup of oil to each pan. Heat until almost smoking. Carefully place 4 sandwiches in each pan with a spatula, making sure they keep their shape. Reduce the heat slightly. Cook until golden brown and crisp on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully turn the sandwiches, using 2 spatulas. Brown the other side, about 3 minutes. Remove from the pans, and drain on paper towels.
• Swirl the sauce in circles onto each of 4 plates. Place 2 sandwiches on each plate, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Pat scallops dry with paper towels; sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add scallops; sear for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown and firm. Remove from the skillet; keep warm., Wipe skillet clean if necessary. Saute garlic in remaining butter until tender; stir in sherry. Cook until liquid is almost evaporated; stir in the remaining ingredients. Serve with scallops.
