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.

- In a large saucepan place the vegetable oil and heat it on medium high until it is hot (350F). 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.
- 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.
- Grill the shrimp and scallops for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until they are just done.
- 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.
- 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. Sauté the vegetables for 4 to 5 minutes, or until they are tender.
- 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.
- Place the mixture in a food processor and pure it. Return the pure 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.
