Time 3h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
¼ tablespoon salt
¾ teaspoon dry mustard
¾ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 pound scallops
2 tablespoons butter, or as needed
½ onion, chopped
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1 (12 ounce) package angel hair pasta
olive oil
½ tomato, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Mix black pepper, white pepper, salt, mustard, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and thyme together. Dredge scallops in blackening spices.
  • Melt 1/2 of the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until just tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate, cover, and set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt remaining butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add scallops in a single layer and sear until browned on the outsides and opaque in the centers, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Cover and set aside.
  • Drain pasta and place in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil. Add the mushroom mixture and tomato. Serve pasta in individual bowls; place scallops on top and drizzle with lemon juice.

3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sea Scallops
3 tablespoons smoked sweet Spanish paprika
1 tablespoon ground ancho chile
1 tablespoon ground pasilla chile
1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon celery salt
20 U-10 sea scallops, muscle removed
1/4 cup canola oil
Kosher salt

1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 small shallot, chopped
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon honey
6 green onions, green part only, chopped

Steps:

  • To make the tomato relish, put the tomatoes, red onion, green onions, vinegar, and olive oil in a medium bowl and mix gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
  • To cook the sea scallops, combine the paprika, ancho and pasilla powders, white and black pepper, thyme, oregano, onion and garlic powders, and celery salt in a medium shallow bowl.

Dredge one side of each scallop in the spice rub and put the scallops in the pan spice side down. Cook until browned and a crust has formed, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Turn the scallops over and continue to cook until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
  • Divide the scallops among 4 large dinner plates, top each scallop with some of the tomato relish, drizzle with the vinaigrette, and sprinkle some green onion on top.
  • GREEN ONION VINAIGRETTE
  • Combine the vinegar, 1/4 cup water, the shallot, mayonnaise, and honey in a blender and blend until combined. Add the green onions and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. The vinaigrette can be prepared 4 hours in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Time 2h30m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 27

One 6-ounce sea bass cut into 2 thin slices
2 tablespoons Guajillo Chile Marinade, recipe follows
1/4 cup Coconut Lemon Grass Reduction Sauce, recipe follows
10 to 20 scallops sliced into 2 thin pieces
1 teaspoon blackened seasoning, galangal powder blend
Neutral oil
1/3 cup currant, stemmed or yellow and red pear tomatoes
1/2 ounce baby spinach, fresh
1 ounce enoki mushrooms
One 1-ounce thinly sliced smoked salmon
1 sprig rosemary, 4-inches in length
1/4 avocado, diced
1 teaspoon orange tobiko (Japanese flying fish roe)
1 1/4 pounds dry guajillo chiles, cleaned
1 to 2 quarts rice vinegar
1 cup brown sugar
12 ounces sriracha chili paste (Thai chili paste)
1 pint Ginger Oil, recipe follows
8 ounces ginger, bruised
1 cup olive oil
1 quart coconut milk
3 1/2 stalks lemon grass, trimmed cleaned and bruised
1 ounce chipotle puree
4 ounces sugar
1 cup lime juice
1/4 cup rice vinegar
Heavy cream, as needed if sauce breaks

Steps:

  • Baste raw bass pieces with Guajillo Chile Marinade and set aside. Heat coconut reduction sauce and set aside, keep warm. Brush scallops with blackened galangal powder blend and sear quickly, set aside and keep warm. Heat saute pan with little oil at medium low heat. When oil is hot, add bass, careful not to burn fish. Chile marinade contains a lot of sugar so watch your temperature, keep it low. Blacken tomatoes in 1 tablespoon of neutral oil. Add spinach and enoki mushrooms. Cook down until spinach has wilted and sauce is hot. Check on bass and turn when ready. Plate the dish when fish is done. Place coconut reduction sauce on large plate to cover completely. Place spinach mushroom mixture in center of plate. Place largest piece of bass on top of spinach. Place scallops on top of bass. Cover scallops with smoked salmon slices (salmon is chilled or at room temperature, do not cook). Cover salmon with second piece of bass and use rosemary sprig to hold it all in one place. Add avocado around the outside of fish and garnish with tobiko.
  • Place dry chiles in large stockpot and cover with rice vinegar. Place sugar on top and bring to simmer, allow to cook until chiles are tender. Place chiles in blender and puree. Use liquid as needed for puree. Add Ginger Oil to 2 quarts of the puree and mix well.
  • Mix and bring to a boil, then leave at room temperature for 2 hours. Strain.
  • Place coconut milk and lemon grass in large pan and bring to simmer, do not boil. Reduce heat by 65 to 70 percent and cool. Add remaining ingredients working in slowly and tasting so as not to over-season. Chill and hold. Use heavy cream if sauce breaks.
