French chef, Gabriel Gaté, presents Taste Le Tour from the beautiful walled seaside city of Saint Malo and discovers the special foods of the region. Eccentric French gendarme, François, prepares a delicate dish of cod with scallops.
Ingredients
About 60 g butter, cut into cubes
1 shallot, finely chopped
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
About 5 tbsp dry white wine
Black pepper
1 zucchini
2 portions of skinless blue eye fillet
200 g fresh scallops, cleaned
Salt
1 tsp cream
A sprig of dill
Preparation
Place 1 tsp butter in a small saucepan on low heat. Add the chopped shallot and stir for 1 minute. Add vinegar and 3 tbsp white wine, season with black pepper and simmer until the liquid is almost all evaporated.
Cut zucchini into thin slices, then into small sticks called ‘julienne’.
Place 1 tsp butter in a pan on medium heat. Add zucchini julienne and stir for
20 seconds. Add fish fillets, wait 1 minute, then add the cleaned scallops.
Season with salt and pepper. Add remaining white wine, cover with foil and cook on low heat for about 3 minutes. Turn fish over and cook for a further 3 minutes.
Add 1 tsp cream to the shallots, then on low heat slowly whisk in the remaining butter, cube by cube, until melted and smooth.
Place pieces of blue eye fillet on two warm plates. Top with a little zucchini, then a few scallops. Spoon some sauce over fish and scallops, garnish with a sprig of dill and serve. Bon appétit!
