Salmon Steaks with Teriyaki Sauce

Ingredients
4x175 Salmon Steaks
4 Small Gem Lettuces (quartered lengthways)
1 Tablespoon Sunflower Oil
1 Tablespoon Sesame Oil
6 Tablespoons Teriyaki Sauce (bought or make your own by heating together 3 Tablespoons Rice Wine (Saki), 3Tablespoons Soy Sauce, 1 Tablespoon Sugar)
2 Tablespoons Rice Wine Vinegar (white wine will do)
2 Tablespoons Lime Juice
2 Tablespoons Clear Honey

Equipment
1 SHARP Knife
1 Chopping Board
1 Pan
1 Griddle Pan

The Good Bit
  1. Start by heating together all the ingredients for the sauce in your pan (everything but the salmon and lettuce) bring to a rapid simmer and leave for 10 minutes then remove from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes.
  2. Using the griddle pan with no oil, cook the salmon steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side moving as little as possible so you get the lovely charring effect, whilst you are waiting for the fish to do, arrange the lettuce on your plates, then serve a steak on top and finally drizzle over a little of the sauce.

Spiced Scallops

Ingredients
12 Large Scallops (with coral attached) or 350g Scallops (without coral) (coral is the orange bit)
5 Spring Onions (chopped into inch long chunks)
1 Clove Garlic (crushed)
1inch Fresh Ginger (grated)
250g Mangetout (topped and tailed)
125g Button Mushrooms (quartered)
2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
2 Tablespoons Sherry
1 Tablespoon Honey (clear stuff not set honey)
1 Tablespoon Sesame Seeds (dry fry in a frying pan for 1 minute before use)
1/4 Teaspoon All Spice (or Chinese 5 spice powder)
A Good Splash of Oil

Equipment
1 SHARP Knife
1 Chopping Board
1 Wok
1 Spatula
1 Bowl

The Good Bit
  1. Prepare the scallops first (remove any black/grey bits and discard, then remove the coral and finally slice the white meat into 3-4 pieces)
  2. Now fry off the spring onions in a splash of oil in a very hot wok, add the garlic and ginger and stir fry for 1 minute before adding the mangetout, cook for a further 2 minutes, now pour this mixture into the bowl.
  3. In another good splash of oil add the scallops and corals and stir fry for 2 minutes before adding the mushrooms and cooking for another minute, then add the sherry, soy sauce honey and spice mixture and mix well before adding the vegetable mixture back into the pan.
  4. Season with salt and pepper, make sure the dish is pipping hot throughout then serve and sprinkle over some of the toasted sesame seeds.
