TILAPIA... WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA CRUSTED TILAPIA



Tilapia... White Chocolate Macadamia Crusted Tilapia image

Although not normally a fish fan, a friend decided to try this Red Lobster menu item last year after reading its description. As it turns out this dish won a Food Network Challange which is why it was being showcased. After being tempted by the description of white chocolate, toasted macadmia nuts and coconut, and a smooth sweet sauce, it was a must try. Needless to say it was a huge hit and after trying it myself I am a true believer too. If you want a great fish dish that is as captivating and delightness as a great dessert too... this is the recipe for you.

CLASSIC BEURRE BLANC: WHITE BUTTER SAUCE



Classic Beurre Blanc: White Butter Sauce image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     condiment

Time 35m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 cup champagne vinegar
1/3 cup dry white wine
2 shallots, finely chopped
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 bay leaves
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cubed
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons chopped chives

Steps:

  • In a heavy 2-quart saucepan, combine vinegar, wine, shallots, lemon, and bay leaves to make an infusion. Simmer over medium heat for 5 to 8 minutes until the mixture is reduced to a wet paste, about 2 tablespoons. Add the cream and continue to simmer until reduced again to about 2 tablespoons. Cream is added to make the sauce more stable and less likely to separate.
  • Reduce the heat to low and remove the bay leaves. Whisk in the chunks of butter in small batches. The butter should melt without the sauce getting too hot, producing a creamy emulsified sauce. Do not let the sauce go over 130 degrees F, where it will separate. If the sauce starts to break, remove from heat, add 2 ice cubes and whisk until it cools down and comes back together. Season with salt and pepper, fold in the chives, and serve immediately. Keep covered in a warm place for a few hours, if needed.
  • Serve with fish or vegetables.

PAN SEARED SCALLOPS WITH A TOMATO AND WHITE CHOCOLATE BEURRE BLANC



Pan Seared Scallops with a Tomato and White Chocolate Beurre Blanc image

Provided by Kelsey Nixon

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 large shallots, chopped
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 ounces white chocolate, such as Ghiradelli, broken into pieces
1 tablespoon canola oil
12 large sea scallops, muscles removed from sides if needed
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Fresh pea tendrils
Chopped tomatoes
1/2 lemon, juiced
Olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • For the beurre blanc: Heat the oil in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and sweat with a pinch salt until just softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring to combine. Add the wine and vinegar and simmer until the liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the cream (this will help stabilize your sauce and keep it from breaking) and simmer until reduced by one-third, 5 to 7 minutes. Strain the sauce into another warm saucepan over low heat. The sauce should remain warm, but never hot, or the sauce will break. On low or no heat, whisk in a few pieces of the butter at a time. Wait until each addition is incorporated before adding more butter. Once all of the butter is incorporated, add the lemon juice and combine. Set aside in a warm spot to hold. Just before serving, whisk in the white chocolate.
  • For the seared scallops: In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it has a nice sheen and you can feel the heat coming off of the skillet. Dry your scallops well using paper towels, sprinkle each side with salt and pepper and add them to the hot skillet. Once the bottom of the scallops start to brown around the edges, add the butter to the skillet to help them caramelize. Let the butter melt, flip the scallops and cook until golden brown on each side and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • Toss some pea tendrils and tomatoes with the lemon juice and some olive oil, season with salt and pepper and serve with the scallops and beurre blanc.
