Baked scallops with Salty Fingers and lobster foam

• Salty Fingers®
• gel of salted lemon
• bread croutons
• 12 scallops
• olive oil
• pepper and salt

For the lobster foam:

• 2 soup crabs
• 1/2 onion cubed
• 1 sprig of rosemary
• 100 g of butter
• 4 dl cream
• cognac
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• salt and pepper
• olive oil
• 1 dl of champagne

For the foam, chop the lobsters and fry them in olive oil. Add the onions and tomato paste to deacidify.

Flame the mass with brandy, add the butter, cream and rosemary and bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper and pass through a fine sieve.

Add the champagne shortly before serving and froth the sauce with the immersion blender. Let the butter fizz before adding the cress, add the sugar and glaze the cress.

Bake the scallops on both sides until golden brown, serve them on the cress and spoon the foam around it. Garnish the scallops with the gel, the bread croutons and a few sprigs of Salty Fingers®.
