Seafood Orange Sauce Recipes

BAKED FISH WITH ORANGE SAUCE

Steps:

• Place fish in baking pan.
• Mix orange juice and butter.
• Pour half this mixture over the fish.
• Sprinkle the rind over.
• Bake for 10 minutes.
• Pour remaining orange mixture over.
• Bake another 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle with parsley.

ORANGE SAUCE

Steps:

• Beat the egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed for 3 minutes, until very thick. Reduce to low speed and mix in the cornstarch.
• With the mixer still on low, slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture (I use a liquid measuring cup for pouring). Pour the mixture into a clean, small, deep saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until it reaches 180 degrees F on a candy thermometer and thickens to the consistency of heavy cream. The mixture will coat the spoon. Don't cook it above 180 degrees F or the eggs will scramble! Immediately (it will keep cooking in the saucepan), pour the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and stir in the vanilla, Cognac, Grand Marnier and orange zest. Cover and chill.
• Serve with Dark Chocolate Terrine.
• Lightly oil an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-by-2-inch loaf pan and line it as neatly as possible with plastic wrap, allowing the ends to drape over the sides. (I lay two pieces of plastic wrap crosswise in the pan, overlapping in the center.) Place the pan in the freezer.
• Place a large heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Place the butter in the bowl, then the chocolate and coffee powder and heat until just melted, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula. As soon as the chocolate and butter are melted, take the bowl off the heat and whisk in, one at a time, and in order, first the confectioners' sugar, then the cocoa powder, egg yolks, Cognac and salt. Set the bowl aside for 15 minutes to cool.
• Place the egg whites and granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat on high speed until the whites form firm but not dry peaks. Fold the whites into the cooled chocolate mixture with a rubber spatula.
• Without cleaning the bowl or whisk attachment, pour the cream and vanilla into the bowl and beat on high speed until it forms firm peaks. Fold the cream carefully but thoroughly into the chocolate mixture. Pour into the prepared loaf pan, smooth the top, fold the plastic wrap over the top and chill for 4 hours or overnight.
• To serve, turn the terrine out of the mold and unwrap it. Spoon a puddle of Orange Sauce in the middle of each dessert plate and place a slice of the terrine in the middle. Sprinkle each serving lightly with orange zest and fleur de sel.

AUSTRALIAN SHRIMP WITH BLOOD ORANGE SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the sauce, combine the blood orange juice, shallots, tarragon, rosemary and sugar and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer the mixture until the flavors blend, about 10 minutes then add the cream. Simmer for another 1 or 2 minutes, then remove the pot from the heat and steep for 15 minutes. Strain the sauce through a fine sieve and set aside until shortly before serving.
• To begin the zucchini rings: Cut each zucchini into 4 (1-inch thick) cylinders. Dice the remaining zucchini and set aside for garnish. Cut out the center of each zucchini cylinder, creating a hole in each ring about 1 1/2 inches across. Reserve the centers to make the custard below. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the zucchini rings until they are just tender, then drain and refresh in ice water.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• To make the custard: Mash the reserved zucchini centers. In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the cream. Add the mashed zucchini, orange zest, rosemary and garlic. Divide the mixture between 4 ramekins then bake in a water bath until the custard is just set, about 15 minutes. Remove the custards from the oven and keep warm. Reduce the oven temperature to 200 degrees F.
• To assemble the zucchini and shrimp rings: Fit each shelled shrimp into a blanched zucchini ring by curling the shrimp. Skewer the remaining shrimp with toothpicks (so they will lie flat during cooking).
• To finish the sauce: Bring the strained sauce to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low. Gradually incorporate the butter, emulsifying it into the sauce with a handheld mixer or whisk. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper and reserve over very low heat.
• To cook the shrimp and garnish: Heat several tablespoons of olive oil in 2 large skillets over medium heat. Working in batches if necessary, cook the diced zucchini in one pan and the sliced oranges in the other. Season the zucchini with salt and pepper and cook until golden and tender; keep warm in a low oven. Cook the orange slices just until firm, season with pepper then keep them warm in the oven as well.
• Wipe out the skillets. Add olive oil to each and heat over medium. Season the stuffed zucchini and the skewered shrimp liberally with salt and pepper. Working in batches, cook the zucchini and shrimp rings in 1 pan and the skewered shrimp in the other, in both cases cooking until the shrimp is firm and lightly browned.
• To plate the dish: Unmold the custards onto 4 large warm plates (run a paring knife around the outer edges of the molds first to prevent sticking). Arrange zucchini and shrimp ring around each custard. Remove the toothpicks from the shrimp and place 4 shrimp on each plate. Arrange a slice of blood orange and some diced zucchini on each plate. Drizzle the plates with blood orange sauce and basil oil. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs and serve.

SHRIMP WITH ORANGE-LIME SAUCE

Steps:

• Grate lime rind, and squeeze 1 tablespoon juice into a large bowl.
• Wash, trim, seed and mince jalapeño; wash, chop cilantro. Add to bowl, with juice concentrate, pepper flakes and salt. Stir in shrimp.
• Heat oil in nonstick pot until it is medium hot. Add shrimp and sauce, and heat, about one minute.

SCALLOPS WITH ORANGE-BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Season scallops with salt and pepper; cook until browned and opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; cover loosely with foil. Cut orange segments into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Reduce heat to medium, add wine to skillet, and cook 30 seconds. Add butter and 3 tablespoons orange juice and cook, swirling, until sauce is thickened, 1 minute. Remove from heat and add chives and orange pieces. Season with salt and pepper and spoon over scallops and couscous.
