How to Make Curried Oysters With Banana Salsa

  1. In a heavy skillet, sauté 2 tablespoons of butter until melted. Whisk in 2 tablespoons curry powder until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  2. Add 1/2 cup finely chopped shallots and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute until softened.
  3. Pour in 1 cup of fish fumet (see instructions below) and bring to a simmer. Reduce until 1/4 cup remains (about 10-15 minutes).
  4. Whisk in 1/4 cup heavy cream and continue reducing until slightly thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
  5. Stir in 2 tablespoons lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  6. Preheat broiler. Arrange oysters on a baking sheet. Broil or grill for 2-4 minutes, or until shells open. Discard any that don't open.
  7. Remove top shells from oysters. Spoon the curry sauce over each oyster and top with banana salsa.
  8. Serve immediately.
  9. **Fish Fumet (makes about 2 cups):**
  10. Combine 1 lb fish bones (cod or snapper work well), 4 cups water, 1/2 cup dry white wine, 1 leek (white part only, thinly sliced), 1 carrot (chopped), 1 celery stalk (chopped), 1 bay leaf, and a few black peppercorns in a large saucepan.
  11. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 40 minutes.
  12. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 30 minutes.
  13. Strain the fumet through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding solids.
  14. **Banana Salsa:**
  15. In a bowl, combine 1 ripe banana (diced), 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix well.
