Steps

  • Combine all Café de Paris ingredients except the butter in a bowl and set aside for 4 hours.
  • Beat the butter until fluffy, mix with the infused ingredients, shape into a 2.5cm log using cling film, and chill.
  • Heat wine, shallots, garlic, and thyme in a saucepan for 3 minutes over low heat.
  • Add shellfish, cover, and cook for 3 minutes until shells open, discarding any that remain closed.
  • Strain the mixture, reserving the juices, and remove shellfish from shells while keeping a few for garnish.
  • Reduce the reserved juices in a pan over high heat until only 60ml remains.
  • Sauté the seasoned salmon in 15ml of Café de Paris butter and olive oil for 3 minutes per side.
  • Whisk reduced juices, 30ml Café de Paris butter, unsalted butter, and passata in the fish pan to emulsify.
  • Add the prepared shellfish, shrimps, and scallops to the sauce and warm through.
  • Serve the salmon topped with shellfish butter, garnished with whole shells and steamed potatoes.
