Method

Halibut Preparation

  1. 1

    Seasoning the Halibut

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the Alaskan halibut fillets with olive oil, salt, and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Cooking the Halibut

    In an oven-safe pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the halibut fillets in the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until cooked through.

Scallop XO Sauce Preparation

  1. 3

    Rehydrating Dried Scallops

    Soak the dried scallops in warm water for about 30 minutes until softened. Drain and shred them into pieces.

  2. 4

    Making the XO Sauce

    In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic, ginger, shallots, and sauté until fragrant. Add the shredded scallops and chili paste, cooking for an additional 2 minutes. Add soy sauce and let simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened.

Mascarpone Grits Preparation

  1. 5

    Cooking the Grits

    In a pot, bring water to a boil. Add stone-ground grits and salt, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  2. 6

    Finishing the Grits

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in mascarpone cheese and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Tomato Foam Preparation

  1. 7

    Preparing the Tomato Mixture

    In a saucepan, combine diced tomatoes and vegetable broth. Simmer for 10 minutes until tomatoes are soft.

  2. 8

    Making the Foam

    Using an immersion blender, blend the tomato mixture until smooth. Stir in soy lecithin and blend again until foamy. Season with salt to taste.

Eggplant Preparation

  1. 9

    Preparing the Eggplant

    Sprinkle salt on the sliced eggplant and let it sit for 15 minutes to draw out moisture. Rinse and pat dry.

  2. 10

    Cooking the Eggplant

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the eggplant slices and sauté until golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
