Pan Grilled Scallions With Sea Salt Recipes

PAN-GRILLED SCALLIONS WITH SEA SALT

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan half-full of well-salted water to a boil. Trim the scallions and cut off all but 2 inches of their dark green tops. Place them in the boiling water for 1 minute. Immediately drain the scallions and plunge them into a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and set their color. When cooled, drain again and dry between layers of paper towels.
• Place a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and oil. When the butter has melted and the pan is very hot, add the scallions. Cook, tossing gently, until the scallions just begin to brown, about 1 minute. Immediately sprinkle them with sea salt and transfer to dinner plates or a small platter and serve.

• Toss the scallions with the oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a couple turns of pepper. Grill, flipping once, until charred and slightly wilted, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Serve the salmon with the scallions.

GRILLED SCALLIONS WITH LEMON

Steps:

• Toss scallions with oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Line up scallions side by side on a work surface and thread skewers, 1 at a time, crosswise through all scallions to form a solid rectangle. (Skewers should be inserted about 2 inches from each end.) Grill on lightly oiled grill rack, uncovered, turning over once or twice, until softened and charred in patches, 4 to 5 minutes total. Transfer scallions to a platter and squeeze lemon evenly over them, then remove skewers.

PAN-GRILLED SALMON ON TOAST WITH SCALLION MAYONNAISE

• Cook scallions in grill pan, turning occasionally, until soft and slightly charred, about 6 minutes, then transfer to a cutting board to cool.
• Add salmon to grill pan and cook, turning over once, until just cooked through, about 12 minutes total. Transfer with a metal spatula to a plate and cool slightly, then gently flake.
• While salmon is grilling, finely chop scallions and stir into mayonnaise with celery, lemon juice, and mint. Season with salt and pepper.
• Toast bread and spread lightly with some of scallion mayonnaise. Divide salmon among toasts and top with dollops of scallion mayonnaise and pieces of frisée.

GRILLED SEA SCALLOPS WITH CORN AND PEPPER SALSA

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal fire for grilling (or use a ridged stovetop grill pan).
• Make the salsa: Place the tomatillos and jalapeño in a blender or food processor and pulse to make a rough purée. Transfer to a bowl. Stir in corn, bell peppers, onion and lime juice. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let salsa rest for a few minutes, then taste and adjust salt.
• Season sea scallops with salt and pepper on both sides and drizzle with olive oil. Rub with fingers to distribute and coat scallops with seasoning.
• When the grill is medium hot, set the scallops on it in a single layer. Leave for 3 minutes, until well browned. (It's O.K. to lift an edge to peek, but don't try to turn the scallops until they have colored well or they'll stick to the grill.) When they are nicely crisped and browned turn each scallop with tongs and cook for another 3 minutes, until cooked through.
• Transfer scallops to a serving platter and spoon some salsa over them. Garnish with lime wedges and cilantro sprigs. Pass the salsa at the table.
