Salmon And Scallop Stew With Hard Cider And Ginger Food

SALMON AND SCALLOP STEW WITH HARD CIDER AND GINGER

Steps:

• Rinse scallops and remove the tough little cartilage from the side if it is attached. Trim or cut them so that all are about the same size.
• Rinse and trim salmon of all bones, skin and excess fat. Cut into chunks slightly larger than the scallops.
• Combine the ciders and grated ginger in a large saucepan and boil until reduced by a third.
• Place julienned ginger in a strainer or a cheesecloth sack and place in the saucepan with the cider mixture. Add fish stock, thyme and lemon juice, and simmer to reduce to 3 cups. Remove julienned ginger and reserve. Season broth with salt and pepper. Strain through a fine sieve or cheesecloth into a shallow pan.
• Place artichokes, leeks and julienned ginger and the scallops and the salmon in the broth. Over medium-low heat, gently stir mixture until the fish has cooked, about 10 minutes, but do not boil.
• Spoon evenly into warmed bowls, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

GRILLED SALMON WITH LEMON AND GINGER

Steps:

• In a small bowl or measuring cup whisk together lemon juice, soy sauce, oil, sugar and ginger.
• Set aside 1/3 of the mixture in a small bowl.
• Place salmon in a shallow dish and pour the rest of the marinade over the top.
• Let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes, turning once or twice.
• Grill or broil salmon over medium heat, turning once with a wide spatula and brushing with excess marinade until salmon is cooked to your liking (about 10 minutes depending on thickness.)
• Sprinkle with pepper and serve with reserved marinade for drizzling.

SAUTEED SCALLOPS WITH GINGER

Steps:

• In a large skillet heat the oil and the butter over moderately high heat until the foam subsides, in the fat sauté the scallops, patted dry, for 30 seconds on each side, or until they are cooked through, and transfer them to a bowl. In the fat remaining in the skillet cook the gingerroot and the shallot over moderately low heat, stirring, until the shallot is softened and stir in the scallion, the scallops with any juice that has accumulated in the bowl, the lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.

ROASTED SALMON WITH GINGER-LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• Lay the salmon on a rimmed baking sheet, and season with salt and pepper. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Make the ginger-lime butter: In a small bowl, combine softened butter, ginger, lime zest, lemon zest and lime juice. Add salt and pepper to taste, and stir well to combine.
• Transfer salmon, uncovered, to the oven to cook for about 8 minutes. Check the salmon once or twice as it cooks. Depending on the thickness of the fish, it should be fully cooked when little white juices appear on the surface - moist and yielding with big flakes when probed. It may take 10 minutes for thick fillets.
• As the salmon cooks, put 2 tablespoons ginger-lime butter in a wide deep skillet or large pot over medium heat. When butter is melted, add spinach and a pinch of salt. Put on the lid and turn heat to medium-high. (You may need to add the spinach in batches.) After 2 minutes, remove lid and stir spinach to help it wilt. When all spinach is wilted, turn off the heat.
• Transfer salmon to a platter or divide among individual plates. Smear the remaining ginger-lime butter on the fish. Surround with wilted spinach and lime wedges, and top with scallions.
