Add salmon to skillet; sauté until just opaque in center, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer salmon to platter. Add scallops to skillet; sauté until just opaque in center, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to platter with salmon. Pour reserved marinade into skillet; add mussels and clams. Cover and cook over high heat until mussels and clams open, about 3 minutes (discard any that do not open).
