Straight from the sea, tender abalone is transformed into a delightful dish with a fragrant, buttery aroma. Its soft, bouncy texture is incredibly delicious! This recipe offers a taste of the ocean with a touch of gourmet flair.
Ingredients- 8 fresh abalones
- 1 piece unsalted butter (approx. 20g)
- Salt to taste
- 5 cloves garlic
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, it’s crucial to clean the abalones thoroughly. (Refer to previous recipe [link/reference] for detailed abalone cleaning instructions.) Use a brush to scrub away any grit between the shell and the meat. Once cleaned, carefully detach the shell, remove the hard mouthpart and the internal organs. Then, score the abalone meat in a crosshatch pattern. This scoring helps the seasoning penetrate better and results in a more tender texture when cooked.
Step 2
Thinly slice the whole garlic cloves (about 0.5cm thick). Slicing the garlic into thin pieces will enhance its aromatic flavor when sautéed in butter, and it pairs wonderfully with the abalone.
Step 3
Melt the unsalted butter in a preheated pan over medium-low heat. Once the butter has melted, add the sliced garlic and sauté until it turns lightly golden and fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic. The moment you smell the sweet, nutty aroma of the garlic, it’s time to add the abalone.
Step 4
When the butter and garlic are fragrant, carefully place the scored abalones into the pan. Lightly sprinkle salt over the abalone surface to season. It’s best to season gradually, tasting as you go, to avoid making it too salty.
Step 5
Now, grill the abalones until they are golden brown on both sides. Cooking over medium-low heat, rather than high heat, is key to keeping the abalone tender and preventing it from becoming tough. Grill for about 2-3 minutes per side, allowing the butter and garlic flavors to infuse into the abalone. Your delicious abalone butter grill is ready to be served! Enjoy it immediately while it’s warm for the best taste.
