Seafood Sauce Sauce Mariniere De Georges Blanc

BEURRE BLANC SAUCE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Cut the butter into medium (1/2-inch) cubes and return them to the refrigerator to keep them cold.
• Heat the wine, vinegar, and shallot in a saucepan over high heat until the liquid boils. Continue boiling until the liquid has reduced down to about 2 tablespoons, about 30 to 40 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to low, take the cubes of butter out of the fridge and start rapidly whisking them in, 1 or 2 at a time, to the reduction. As the butter melts and incorporates, add more and keep whisking. Continue until you only have 2 to 3 cubes remaining. This process should take about 25 to 30 minutes.
• Remove from the heat while whisking in the last few cubes, and whisk for a moment or two more. The finished sauce should be thick and smooth.​
• Season to taste with kosher salt.
• Traditionally, the chopped shallot would be strained out before serving but doing so is optional. Serve right away. Enjoy.

CLASSIC FRENCH MUSSELS

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the mussels, wine, cream, butter, and parsley and season well with salt. Give it a good stir, cover the pot, and cook until mussels open and are cooked through, about 10 to 15 minutes. Divide the mussels and the juices between 2 bowls and serve with the crusty bread.

HONEY ORANGE FISH FILLETS

Steps:

• Combine the orange juice concentrate, oil, honey, dried dill weed, white pepper, salt, and orange zest, and pour over the fish in a glass baking dish. Cover and chill 30 minutes. (You can also make this without marinating the fish; just broil it and brush with the marinade.)
• Remove the fish from the dish and reserve the marinade. Grill or broil the fish 4 to 6 inches away from the heat source (either over medium coals or under a hot broiler), turning carefully once and brushing with the marinade until fish is thoroughly cooked and flakes easily when tested with a fork, about 5 to 10 minutes.
• If the fish is less than 1/2-inch thick, you can broil it without turning, which makes the recipe much easier. Discard any remaining marinade and serve the fish immediately.

SEAFOOD COCKTAIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients and chill.
• Serve with cold shrimps or other seafood.

SEAFOOD SAUCE

Cover and cook about 5 minutes. Add 2 pounds mussels and 4 cups Perfect Marinara Sauce. Cook, uncovered, until the mussels open, 4 to 5 minutes. Toss with bucatini and 1/4 cup chopped parsley.
• Perfect Marinara Sauce:
• Combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, 6 thinly sliced garlic cloves and a pinch of red pepper flakes in a large skillet and cook over medium-low heat until the garlic is golden, about 6 minutes. Crush a 28-ounce can of San Marzano plum tomatoes into the skillet with your hands; rinse the can with about 1 cup water and add to the sauce. Add a handful of torn basil leaves and season with salt. Increase the heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, until thick, 20 to 25 minutes. Toss with 1 pound cooked pasta (makes 4 cups sauce).
