  2. 2 Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place lobster tails cut side down in the butter. Cook, covered, about 3 minutes. Turn lobster tails over (they are curved so will lean to 1 side); cover and cook 1 minute. Lean them to the other side; cover and cook 1 minute more.
  3. 3 Remove from heat. Transfer lobster tails to a bowl. Remove any shell pieces from the skillet.
  4. 4 Place 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet over medium heat; add shallots and pinch of salt. Cook and stir until pan starts to deglaze and shallots soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook stir until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Add flour; stir until mushrooms are coated and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in cognac; use a kitchen torch to flame cognac to burn off alcohol. This will take just a few seconds. Add milk; cook and stir until pan is completely deglazed and milk begins to thicken and turn bubbly, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in creme fraiche. Let cool.
  5. 5 Remove lobster meat from the shell, leaving top shell intact. Remove any bits of bottom shell from the meat.
  6. 6 Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking pan with crinkled up foil. Make 4 channel-like indentations in the foil to hold and stabilize the lobster tails as they bake.

Instructions

  1. 1 Fill a large pot with warm water. Attach a sous vide precision cooker to the pot and set temperature to 125 degrees F (51 degrees C).
  2. 2 Place shallot into a plastic bag and lay salmon on top, skin-side down. Use a vacuum sealer to remove air and seal the bag, or use the water-immersion method. Once water temperature has reached 125 degrees F (51°C), add the bag to the pot; set the timer for 45 minutes.
  3. 3 Remove the bag from the pot when the timer goes off. Remove salmon and pat dry. Remove and discard shallot.
  4. 4 Heat olive oil in a nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Add salmon, skin-side down, and sear for 1 1/2 minutes. Flip and sear for an additional 1 1/2 minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. 2 Toss sliced shallot with olive oil in a heavy pot or dutch oven until well coated.
  3. 3 Arrange sausages atop shallot mixture.
  4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until the sausage is no longer pink in the center, turning sausages occasionally to brown evenly, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
  5. 5 Transfer sausages to a platter; cover and set aside.
  6. 6 Melt butter in the pot used to cook the sausage over medium heat. Stir in milk and bring to a low simmer.
  7. 7 Gradually stir in about 3/4 of the Italian cheese blend until melted; reserve the remaining cheese for topping. Remove cheese sauce from heat, stirring occasionally to keep sauce smooth.
  8. 8 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook the gnocchi at a boil until it floats to the top, about 3 minutes; drain.
  9. 9 Serve sausage and gnocchi topped with cheese sauce and sprinkle with reserved cheese and basil.
