Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Grill and open flame. Keep sleeves, hair and tea towels away from the flame, and stay with the grill while it's lit. Barbecue outdoors only, never in a closed space.
  • Blending hot liquid. Let it cool a little first, fill the blender no more than a third, and hold the lid down with a folded towel. Start on the lowest speed. A stick blender in the pan is safer.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. In a large saucepan place the vegetable oil and heat it on medium high until it is hot (350øF). Add the leeks and fry them for 3 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Drain the leeks on paper towels. Set them aside and keep them warm.
  2. Brush the seafood pieces with the olive oil. Grill (or broil) the salmon, swordfish, and sea bass for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until they are just done. Cut each piece of fish crosswise into 3 pieces.
  3. Grill the shrimp and scallops for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until they are just done.
  4. On each of six individual serving plates place the fried leeks. Place 1 piece of each kind of fish on top. Add 2 of the shrimps and 2 of the scallops. Drizzle on the Soy Beurre Blanc.
  5. Soy Beurre Blanc: In a medium saucepan place the 2 tablespoons of butter and heat it on medium until it has melted. Add the onions, carrots, and celery. Saut‚ the vegetables for 4 to 5 minutes, or until they are tender.
  6. Add the white wine. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the ingredients for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced to 1 cup.
  7. Place the mixture in a food processor and pur‚e it. Return the pur‚e to the saucepan. While whisking constantly over low heat, add the pieces of butter one at a time. Add the soy sauce and stir it in.
