Seared Scallops
Makes 4 to 6 servings
2 pounds (908g) large sea scallops (dry preferred)
1-1/2 tablespoons (25ml) extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon (2ml) kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon (1ml) freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon (1ml) sweet paprika
lemon wedges
Remove the tough “foot” (muscle) from the side of each scallop – it is slightly
more opaque in appearance and comes off easily. Place the scallops in a
shallow bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with seasonings. Stir gently
to coat evenly.
Preheat the Griddle side to Sear setting. When hot, arrange the scallops
evenly over the Griddle, shaking off excess oil. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes
(depending upon size), turn once and cook until deep golden in colour,
opaque and slightly firm to the touch. Serve hot or chilled.

Salmon Burgers
with Lemon Tarragon Sauce
Makes 6 servings
2 ounces (56g) shallots, peeled, finely chopped
1-3/4 pounds (794g) boneless, skinless salmon fillet, chopped into 1/4-inch
(0.63cm) pieces
2 ounces (56g) smoked salmon, finely chopped
1/2 tablespoon (7ml) Dijon-style mustard
1/2 teaspoon (2ml) kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon (1ml) freshly ground black pepper
Lemon Tarragon Sauce
Place the shallots, salmon and smoked salmon in a bowl. Stir in the mustard,
salt and pepper. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape into 4-inch
(10cm) “burgers”. Chill, if not cooking immediately.
Preheat the Griddle side to Med-High. When the Griddle is hot, arrange the
Salmon Burgers evenly spaced on the Griddle. Cook for 3 (3-1/2 if mixture is
chilled after preparing) minutes per side – do not overcook. Serve on toasted
sourdough rolls or bread, with Lemon Tarragon Sauce.
