Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Cook the couscous
Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the couscous and cook until just tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain the couscous, then return to the pot and toss with 2 to 3 teaspoons oil; season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm.
While the water is heating and the couscous is cooking, start preparing the rest of the meal.
2
Prep the ingredients
- Cut the butter into ½-inch pieces; refrigerate until ready to make the beurre blanc.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the currants and honey-lime vinaigrette.
- Trim the root end from the frisée, coarsely chop the frisée.
- Coarsely chop the almonds.
3
Cook the seafood
Scallops:
- Rinse and drain the scallops. Pat dry on a paper-towel-lined plate. Season lightly with salt.
In a large frying pan over high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the scallops and cook without turning until golden brown on one side and starting to turn opaque, 2 to 4 minutes. Turn and continue cooking for about 30 seconds for translucent or 1 to 2 minutes for opaque.
Jumbo shrimp:
- Rinse and drain the shrimp. Pat dry on a paper-towel-lined plate. Season lightly with salt.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the shrimp and cook, turning once, until firm and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Halibut:
- Pat the fish dry with a paper towel; season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the fish and cook until lightly browned on the bottom side, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook until the flesh is opaque and flaky, 2 to 4 minutes.
Transfer the seafood to a plate and cover to keep warm. Do not clean the pan.
4
Make the beurre blanc
In a small bowl, stir together the orange juice and champagne vinegar.
In the same pan used for the seafood, add the orange juice–vinegar mixture and cook over medium heat until thickened slightly, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat, add the butter, a few pieces at a time, and swirl until melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
5
Make the endive salad
To the bowl with the currants and vinaigrette, add the frisée, almonds, and 2 to 3 teaspoons oil and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the couscous and frisée salad to individual plates. Top the couscous with the seafood, spoon over the citrus beurre blanc, and serve.
