Time 1h25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 cups dry white wine
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
8 sprigs fresh thyme
4 bay leaves
4 sprigs fresh dill
2 serrano chiles, halved, seeded and deveined
2 lemons, quartered
1 bulb fresh fennel, cut into 1/8-inch slices
1 pound medium-large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 pound cleaned squid tubes and tentacles, tubes cut into 1/4-inch circles (see Cook's Note)
1 pound large sea scallops, halved
2 Meyer lemons, juice and zest of
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted, chopped
1/2 cup sliced pepperoncini peppers
2 orange bell peppers, cheeks only, cut into 1/4-inch dice
4 cups baby arugula
1 cup crumbled feta
2 tablespoons capers, drained

Steps:

  • For the court bouillon: Combine the white wine, peppercorns, thyme, bay leaves, dill, serranos, lemons and fennel in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then add 8 cups room temperature water and the shrimp. Put the squid and the scallops in a fine-mesh strainer and lower them directly into the court bouillon. Gently poach the seafood until cooked through and tender, about 15 minutes. Remove the seafood to a plate, strain the court bouillon into a bowl, and then add the seafood back to the court bouillon. Add a few ice cubes to cool the liquid down. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • For the seafood salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon zest and juice, olive oil, oregano and black pepper. Whisk well. With a slotted spoon, remove the chilled seafood from the court bouillon and add it to the bowl along with the cherry tomatoes, olives, pepperoncinis and bell peppers. Toss well.
  • Arrange a bed of arugula on a large serving platter. Mound the seafood salad on top and garnish with the feta and capers. Serve immediately.

SMOKED WHITEFISH SALAD WITH CRèME FRAîCHE AND CAPERS



Smoked Whitefish Salad With Crème Fraîche and Capers image

Whitefish salad is a necessity at traditional Jewish "appetizing" stores like Barney Greengrass and Russ & Daughters, which traditionally stock smoked and pickled fish, cheese, bagels and bialys, halvah and other small luxuries. According to strict kosher law, meat and dairy cannot be made in the same kitchen: Jewish butchers and delis traditionally supplied the meat, while appetizing stores sold dairy products. Fish can be paired with either. That's why you'll never see a Reuben sandwich at a truly authentic Jewish deli. Theo Peck, the owner of Peck's, a cafe in Brooklyn, is a trained chef and a descendant of the family that owned Ratner's, a famous Jewish restaurant on the Lower East Side. His version replaces mayonnaise with crème fraîche, and adds bright notes of capers and fresh herbs.
