x

MOUSSELINE:

8 oz Salmon, fresh Salt (to taste)
16 oz Scallops, fresh Pepper (to taste)
3 lg Eggs Nutmeg (to taste)
1/2 qt Cream, heavy 16 ea Ramekins for individual
1/2 tb Truffles, chopped, (opt)

servings (small molds
1 oz Butter, melted :

can be used instead)

SAUCE:

1 ts Shallots, finely chopped 1/4 c Cream, heavy
2 tb Vinegar 1/2 lb Butter, unsalted
1/2 c Wine, Muscadet Pepper, white (to taste)

GARNISH:

1 bn Spinach, shredded 1 ts Butter
1 bn Watercress, shredded
For the Mousseline: =================== Grind the scallops and the shrimp (separately) in a meat grinder or food processor, then cool both in the refrigerator for 1/2 hour. Place the scallops in a bowl with 1 egg, 1 egg white (reserve the yolk for the salmon), salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Put the scallop mixture in a food processor and run for 1 minute. Slowly add cream until blended (about 3 seconds). Do not overblend or mixture will be buttery.
Add truffles to scallop mixture and set aside. Place the salmon in a processor bowl with the other egg, the reserved egg yolk, salt and pepper. Process for 1 minute. Butter the ramekins or molds, then spoon the scallop mixture into them. Put the salmon mixture into a piping tube and pump the mixture into the center of the mold (or simply pour mixtures into the mold.) Place the ramekins or molds in a shallow pan containing 1 inch of water; cover the pan with aluminum foil pierced with small holes to allow steam to escape. Bake in a 350 F oven for 30 minutes. For the Sauce: ============== Put the shallots, vinegar, and wine into small saucepan and cook until half of the liquid is gone. Add cream and bring to a boil, then whip. Add butter in small pieces and whisk over medium heat. Remove from heat and adjust the seasonings. For the Garnish: ================ Saute spinach and watercress in butter for 1 minute. On hot serving plates, arrange some of the spinach and watercress in small circles the same size as the ramekins or molds. Unmold the scallop-salmon mousse onto the vegetables, top with sauce(s). Note: You may use a combination of sauces to form a design on the plate (American sauce, genoise sauce, tomato sauce can be used interchangeably).
