Pan Seared Alii Moi Braised Arugula Warm Lomilomi Sauce With Fiddlehead Fern And Freshwater Shrimp Recipes

LINGIUNE WITH CLAM SAUCE

Steps:

• In a 4-quart pot, steam the clams in the water until they are all open, about 10 minutes. Scoop out the clams and remove the top shell from each one. Gently cook the garlic in olive oil in a saucepan for 4 minutes and carefully pour in the clam-cooking liquid, leaving the sand behind in the pot. Add the parsley and season with freshly ground pepper to taste. Put the clams in the same sauce and cover to keep the warm. Boil and drain the pasta, divide among hot bowls, and ladle on the calms with their sauce.

PAN SEARED ALI'I MOI, BRAISED ARUGULA, WARM LOMILOMI SAUCE WITH FIDDLEHEAD FERN AND FRESHWATER SHRIMP

Steps:

• For the fish: Gently rub the green onions over the Moi, then season with salt and pepper. In a large, hot saute pan, add the olive oil and gently place the fish in the pan. Sear over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes, turning over 2 to 3 times, until crisp and golden brown.
• For the Lomilomi: In a hot saucepan, add the olive oil and heat. When the olive oil is hot, add the onions and tomatoes and lightly sweat until the onions are soft and translucent. Next, add in shrimp, garlic, ferns, and ginger and continue to saute. Deglaze with the stock and reduce by half. Reduce the heat and whisk in the butter until melted. Finish with the lemon juice and green onions. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• Place the arugula in the center of a plate. Place the fish on top of the arugula and top off with the sauce.
• In a large, hot saute pan, add the olive oil and arugula. Toss lightly and add in the garlic and saute for 1 minute. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.

FIDDLEHEAD FERNS

Steps:

• Clean the fiddleheads by snipping off the tough 1/8-inch at the bottom and any stray coarse tips visible. Wash the ferns in cold water. Bring 2 quarts water to a boil and add a teaspoon salt. Add the fiddleheads to the boiling water, return to the boil and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or just until tender. Drain the boiling water and refresh the ferns in ice water. Drain and pat dry the ferns.
• In a large saute pan, heat the butter over medium heat. As the butter begins to bubble, add the dry, blanched fiddleheads and saute for 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice, season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

PAN SEARED COD WITH ARUGULA CAMPARI TOMATOES & FIG BALSAMIC GLAZE RECIPE - (4.7/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Melt three tablespoons of the butter in a large (about 10") heavy skillet over medium high heat. Salt both sides of the cod. Put the cod (top side down first) Fry for about 90 seconds on each side. Then flip back to the top side. Move the cod to one side of the skillet. You'll be making three serving 'stacks' in the skillet. Place two campari tomatoes in the skillet and on top of each, put equal amounts of arugula. Top with a piece of cod and one tablespoon of butter each. Cook in a preheated 375°F oven about 5 minutes. Remove and carefully place cod stacks on serving plates. Add the asparagus. In the empty skillet, turn heat to to medium high, add the remaining butter, melt then add the wine and deglaze the skillet. Pour over the cod stacks. Drizzle each with the fig balsamic glaze. Notes: I served asparagus with this dish. You can cook the asparagus in a cast iron skillet with olive oil, some lemon pepper, pepper and sea salt for about 5 minutes. I like to leave them slightly crunchy.

PAN SEARED SALMON ON BABY ARUGULA
