Ocean Troutsalmon With Lime And Lemon Grass Hollandaise Recipes

SALMON WITH TANGERINE-LEMON HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine tangerine and lemon juices in a bowl. Whisk egg yolks and water in a heatproof bowl, and place over a pan of simmering water. Whisk until mixture foams and begins to thicken, 1 minute. Add half the citrus juice. Cook, whisking, until thickened slightly.
• Puree yolk mixture, remaining citrus juice, the zest, vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the cayenne in a blender. Reduce speed to low, and add butter in a slow, steady stream. Set sauce aside.
• Cut salmon in half lengthwise, and then cut each half crosswise into 3 pieces (about 2 inches wide). Gently pound between parchment so that all pieces are about 1/4 inch thick. (Salmon can be covered and refrigerated 3 hours).
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season skinned side of salmon with salt and white pepper. Working in batches if needed, cook for 30 seconds. Flip and cook to the desired doneness, about 30 seconds for medium-rare. Place on a platter. Spoon sauce on top; garnish with citrus rounds. Serve remaining sauce on the side.

STEAMED POMPANO WITH GINGER-LIME HOLLANDAISE

Steps:

• Grate the zest off the lime and set aside. Squeeze the juice into a blender jar. Add the egg yolks, cayenne and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
• Pour two cups of water into a large saucepan. Place a trivet or flat steamer rack inside. Arrange the fillets on a heat-proof plate, skin side down, and sprinkle with the lime zest, ginger and salt to taste. Place the plate on the steamer, cover the pot and bring to a boil. Steam until the fish is just cooked, about seven minutes. (If the fillets are too big, you will have to do this in two stages or in two pots.)
• While the fish cooks, melt the butter in a small saucepan and keep it very hot.
• Remove the fillets from the steamer plate and pour the cooking liquid into the blender; this gives the sauce extra flavor. Blend for 10 seconds, then, with the motor running, add the hot butter in a slow, steady stream. Season with more salt if you like. Spoon the hollandaise over the fish and serve at once.

EASY EXTRA-LEMONY HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk egg yolks and water together in a small saucepan over low heat. Slowly whisk in melted butter. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce begins to thicken, 8 to 10 minutes. Slowly add lemon juice, stirring until incorporated. Cook until sauce achieves desired thickness, 3 to 5 minutes more. Serve immediately.

SEAFOOD WITH LEMONGRASS

Steps:

• Place the lemon juice, fish sauce, chili powder, sugar and chicken stock or fish broth in a saute pan and bring to a boil. Add the scallops and cook over high heat, stirring for about 3 minutes or until the scallops are opaque. The liquid should be considerably reduced.
• Add the lime leaf, lemongrass, shallot and scallion slices and cook for about a minute, stirring continuously. Put in the coriander and toss the mixture briefly.
• Serve immediately on a bed of lettuce leaves.
