Heat clarified butter in a pan, saute onions and garlic until translucent, add tomatoes and simmer for about 8 minutes.

Preheat the oven broiler. Remove seafood from marinade and drain. Place seafood on a grill pan or baking sheet and cook under the oven broiler, watching carefully. Cook calamari for about 8 minutes, turning occasionally. Cook salmon fillets and prawns for about 6 minutes and mussels for about 5 minutes. While cooking seafood, occasionally turn and brush with remaining marinade.
