Salmon Puttanesca With Scallops Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place the salmon piece or fillets skin-side up in a shallow ovenproof dish. Cook in the oven for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile gently melt the butter in a small saucepan. Remove from the heat and stir in the mustard and dill. Season to taste. Remove the salmon from the oven and arrange the scallops round it, baste with the mustard sauce.
• Return to the oven for a further 5 minutes. Slice the salmon quite thickly and serve on top of the spinach rocket and spoon over the mustard butter.

Steps:

• Place Scallops & Sauce in a triple wrapped piece of foil along with a few aromatics such as chilies, capers and black olives. Place foil bundle to the side of the grill, not over a direct flame about 2 minutes before starting the fish. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper and lightly oil with olive oil. Sprinkle with fresh chopped rosemary. To grill fish, preheat grill to 225C (435F) and lightly coat grill with olive oil. Place fish in the middle of the grill. Allow fish to cook for 2 minutes, turn and close lid for another 2 minutes. Open lid and watch fish until finished (typically 5-6 minutes.) When fish is cooked, serve with Scallops & Sauce as a topper. Scallops & Sauce takes approximately 7 minutes to cook on high heat. Seafood Grilling Tips: Stefan Czapalay, the executive chef for Clearwater Seafoods, has travelled the world giving cooks and chefs tips on achieving the perfect seafood dishes. Here are a few tips that you can easily follow at home: Preheat grill for approximately 30 minutes to lessen the chance of food sticking. Forget about using tongs when grilling fish. You'll end up with a mess and a very high chance of the fish falling apart. Use a grilling spatula when barbecuing. If the protein is sticking to the grill, then it's not ready to flip. Leave it be, wait 30 seconds and try again. Don't flip until it is ready. When possible, always choose sustainable seafood products like another Clearwater line called Bacon Wrapped Sea Scallops. www.newscanada.com

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a small saucepan, over medium heat, add 1 cup of water and 1/2 cup rinsed lentils. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Season the salmon steaks with salt and pepper on all sides. In a large nonstick saute pan, over medium high heat, add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. When the oil is hot and shimmering add the salmon fillets. Cook for 3 minutes, then turn and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on the other side. Remove the fillets to a baking sheet fitted with a rack and put in the oven.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same pan, over high heat. When the oil is hot add the onions, capers, olives and anchovies. Stir often until the onions are just starting to caramelize. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and saute for 2 minutes more. Stir in the tomatoes, red wine vinegar and the lemon juice. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the lentils and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Stir in the basil and parsley and remove from heat.
• Remove the salmon from oven, and transfer the fillets to serving plates. Top each serving with the puttanesca and garnish with a whole basil sprig.
