ROASTED SALMON WITH SCALLOPS AND MUSTARD BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place the salmon piece or fillets skin-side up in a shallow ovenproof dish. Cook in the oven for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile gently melt the butter in a small saucepan. Remove from the heat and stir in the mustard and dill. Season to taste. Remove the salmon from the oven and arrange the scallops round it, baste with the mustard sauce.
• Return to the oven for a further 5 minutes. Slice the salmon quite thickly and serve on top of the spinach rocket and spoon over the mustard butter.

GRILLED SEAFOOD PLATTER WITH MUSTARD BUTTER

Steps:

• For the mustard butter: With a rubber spatula, mix together the butter, both mustards, lemon zest and salt in a small bowl. Form into a 1-inch log on a large piece of plastic wrap and wrap tightly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
• Preheat the grill to medium high.
• For the salmon: Sprinkle the salmon fillets with the salt and rub with the oil. Place on the hot grill, flesh-side down, and cook undisturbed for 4 minutes. Using a fish spatula, flip the salmon and cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes or until cooked to your liking. Remove the salmon to a platter. Unwrap the mustard butter and slice thinly. Place a few slices on each fillet. Cover the fillets with foil to keep warm while preparing the lobster.
• For the lobster: Sprinkle the lobster tails with the salt and drizzle with the oil. Place on the grill, meat-side down, and cook for 3 minutes or until golden brown. Flip the tails and top with a few slices of mustard butter. Finish cooking for an additional 4 minutes or until the meat is opaque and just cooked through. Add the lobster to the platter with the salmon and serve with additional mustard butter on the side.
