PAN SEARED CHILEAN SEA BASS WITH WILD MUSHROOM GRITS AND FRESH SPINACH
Steps:
- Season the sea bass with salt and pepper.
- In a large saute pan over medium heat, add the canola oil and heat the oil to a slight smoke. Add 1 sprig of fresh thyme to the saute pan and sear the sea bass skin side down for 3/4 of the cooking time about 7 minutes. This will give the fish a beautiful crisp skin and golden color.
- While the fish is cooking start the grits. In a 2 quart saucepot add 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 sprig of fresh thyme. When the butter begins to brown, add the mushrooms and saute until golden. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the grits, add the chicken stock, and reduce to a simmer. When the grits begin to thicken finish with heavy cream and 1 tablespoon of butter. Season with salt and pepper, when ready to serve, remove the thyme sprig. Keep the grits warm on a low temperature.
- Carefully turn the fish over, to finish the other side. Remove the sea bass and hold in a warm place.
- In the same saute pan, on the same temperature, add the spinach. It will quickly wilt. Finish the spinach with the remaining whole butter and season with salt and pepper.
- For presentation, serve this dish in a large soup bowl. Using a ladle, scoop a small amount of grits into the bottom of each bowl. Layer a small amount of spinach on the grits and finish with the sea bass. Garnish with fresh thyme.

SPINACH SALAD WITH PAN SEARED SALMON
This spinach salad is delightful. The seared salmon pairs well with the spinach salad and the light Bleu cheese dressing. Although the seasoning in the salmon is minimal, it's delicious. The salad dressing is creamy and loaded with Bleu cheese flavor, but it's not heavy. Adding the toasted walnuts gives the savory salad some...

Steps:
- Make smoked-tomato butter:
- Cut an X in bottom of tomato. Blanch tomato in a saucepan of boiling water 10 seconds, then transfer tomato with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice water. Peel and core tomato, then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices and remove and discard seeds.
- Line drip tray of smoker with foil and spread wood chips over center of smoker pan (cover roughly the diameter of burner). Put drip tray on top of chips and put a lightly oiled rack in tray. Arrange tomato slices in 1 layer on rack and put smoker on stove, centered on 1 burner, then heat, uncovered, over moderate heat until chips begin to smolder, 2 to 3 minutes. Slide cover on, then smoke tomatoes over moderate heat 25 minutes. Remove cover from smoker. Cool tomatoes to room temperature, then purée in a food processor along with butter, salt, and a pinch of pepper. Force mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl, then transfer to a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper and roll into a log about 1 inch thick. Twist ends of paper to enclose butter and chill until firm, at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare salad ingredients:
- Cook bacon in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, 8 to 12 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Discard bacon fat or reserve for another use.
- Toss together spinach and watercress in a medium bowl.
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.
- Whisk together lemon juice, lime juice, garlic, salt, and a pinch of pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk in olive oil.
- Cook scallops:
- Pat scallops dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in cleaned 10-inch skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking, then sear scallops, turning over once, until golden brown and almost cooked through, about 4 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.
- Finish cooking and assemble:
- Whisk vinaigrette and toss greens with just enough vinaigrette to coat, then add bacon, tossing to combine. Divide salad among scallop shells or small plates and arrange 2 scallops on top of each salad. Cut 8 (1/4-inch-thick) slices tomato butter and place a slice on top of each scallop.
- Arrange shells or plates on a baking sheet and heat in oven until butter is melted and scallops are just cooked through (greens will wilt slightly), 3 to 4 minutes. If using shells, transfer to larger plates.

PAN-SEARED SALMON PASTA WITH SPINACH RECIPE - (4/5)
Provided by dmkersey
Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- First things first, fill a large pot with water, salt it, and turn it on high for the pasta. This recipe doesn't take that much time, so having the water ready will avoid aimless standing in the kitchen. Melt some butter in a pan over medium-high. Once the butter has completely melted, foams, and just begins to take on a brown shade, take the fish and place it in the pan flesh side down. Since the salmon is going to be broken up into the pasta, there's no need to splurge for salmon steaks, which run you around twice the price. Sauté the fish for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the skin has nice coloring like in this beautiful picture. Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until the middle has lost much of its redness. Don't worry too much, since the fish will be placed into the sauce later in the recipe and will finish cooking if need be. You're developing a nice crust in this stage. When ready, remove the fish and place it on a cutting board. Remove the zest from one lemon. This can be done in various ways, but we just use a microplane cheese grater. Vegetable peelers work, too--make sure to use only the yellow skin and not the bitter white layer beneath it. Finely chop a handful of parsley. Wash the spinach in a colander. Place a little more butter in the same pan as you cooked the fish, and throw in the spinach. It will seem like an absurd amount of spinach, but it will dramatically shrink in a few moments. Once it has condensed by half, throw in the lemon zest. Now is a good time to check the pot of boiling water, as the rest of the recipe will be done in 10 minutes. If ready, throw in the pasta. Once the spinach looks wilted, pour the heavy cream into the pan and let it reduce for a few minutes, depending on how far along your pasta is. Meanwhile, remove the skin from the back of the fish. It is surprisingly easy to remove once it has been cooked. You can use a fork or a knife, but it is honestly much easier to peel back with your fingers. Get all of it completely off. Flake the fish with two forks. While the meat is tender and can easily be forced apart, try to feel with the forks for the parts that will separate naturally. This will make the chunks stay together better in the pasta. Place the salmon back into the pan, then toss in a whole handful of finely chopped parsley. Drain the cooked pasta, and dump it into the pan. Toss it with a pair of tongs and serve right away.
