Best Salmon And Scallop Soup With Caviar Recipes

STEAMED EGG WITH SCALLOPS AND CAVIAR

Steps:

• Thoroughly combine the eggs with the ginger, chives, mushrooms, sesame oil, soy sauce, nori shreds, salt and pepper in a bowl. Place 1 scallop in the bottom of 8 small teacups and divide the egg mixture among the teacups. Tap the teacups lightly on the counter to remove any air bubbles. Fill a wok halfway with water and bring to a simmer over high heat. Place the teacups in a bamboo steamer, cover the teacups with plastic wrap and put the steamer into the wok, making sure the base does not touch the water. Steam for 8 to 12 minutes. Remove from the steamer and let rest for 3 minutes before removing the plastic wrap. Check that the egg is cooked by putting a toothpick through the center - it should come out clean. Spoon 1/2 teaspoon of salmon roe onto each steamed egg, sprinkle with chopped chives and serve.

CURRIED SCALLOPS WITH CUCUMBER SAUCE AND SALMON PEARLS

Steps:

• With a paring knife, remove the skin from the outside of the cucumber. Coarsely chop the skin. Discard the remaining cucumber or reserve for another use. In a blender, puree the cucumber, parsley, and vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Add the egg yolks and sugar and blend for 30 seconds to combine. With the blender running, add the oils in a slow steady stream to form an emulsion. Season, to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Season the scallops with salt and pepper and set aside. Place the curry powder in a small saute pan and heat over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook for 30 seconds or just until you can really smell the curry. Immediately remove from the pan and place in a shallow bowl or plate. Add the flour and mix well. Dredge the scallops in the curry mixture, shaking off any excess. Set aside on a clean plate.
• Heat a large saute pan over high heat. When the pan is hot, add the peanut oil and heat just to smoking. Add the scallops and saute for 30 seconds. Turn the scallops and add the butter and saute for an additional 30 seconds on the second side. Remove from the pan to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Place a small pile of watercress on 6 plates. Top the watercress with a scallop shell. Place some sauce in each scallop shell. Top with 1 scallop. Garnish with 1 tablespoon salmon caviar and chive flowers.

SALMON TIMBALLES AND SCALLOPS TARTARE WITH CAVIAR

Steps:

• Combine all the marinade ingredients, except the lime juice, in a small deep bowl. Add the salmon and scallop dice, stir well and add just enough lime juice to barely cover the mixture. Cover tightly and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
• Lightly oil 12 mini muffin cups, timbale molds or similar vessels roughly one-and-a-half-inches across and one-inch high. Line with squares of plastic wrap, keeping them as smooth as possible.
• Line the molds with the thin salmon slices, overlapping if necessary to cover interior completely, letting the excess hang over.
• Drain the marinated mixture, pressing hard on the solids to remove all possible liquid, then distribute it among the lined molds. The mixture should mound slightly above the edges. Fold the edges of the salmon liner over the tops, cover with plastic wrap and weight with a heavy cutting board or other flat weight.
• Chill the timbales for one or two hours, then remove from molds and reverse to show smooth bottoms. Top each with a dab of creme fraiche, sprinkle with chives and add a half teaspoon of the caviar.
