SOY-BUTTER BASTED SCALLOPS WITH WILTED GREENS AND SESAME
This simple dish was inspired by a recipe for steamed scallop and butter rice found in "Donabe: Classic and Modern Japanese Clay Pot Cooking" (Ten Speed, 2015) by Naoko Takei Moore and Kyle Connaughton. Here, sweet sea scallops are seared in a hot pan and basted with melted butter and soy sauce to finish cooking. Tender greens are sautéed in garlic oil, then the scallops are placed on top and everything is drizzled with the remaining soy-butter and a bit of sesame oil. Finish the dish with a good squeeze of lime, thinly sliced scallions and a smattering of sesame seeds. It's wonderful served over steamed white rice, so be sure to get that on the stove before you begin cooking the scallops, as the rest of the meal comes together in no time at all.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200 degrees. Season the scallops well with salt and pepper. Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Add 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil and, when it shimmers, add the scallops. Cook undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes, until they begin to brown and form a crust on the bottom.
- Flip the scallops, add the butter and soy sauce to the pan and use a spoon to repeatedly drizzle the sauce over the tops of the scallops to finish cooking, 1 to 2 minutes more.
- Set the scallops on an oven-safe plate and pour the butter mixture on top. Place the plate in the oven to keep the scallops warm while you finish the rest of the dish.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil to the skillet and heat over medium. Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes, if using, and cook until the garlic is pale golden, about 2 minutes, adding a teaspoon or so more of grapeseed oil if needed. Return the heat to medium-high and add the spinach, in batches, if needed, and season with salt. Toss until the spinach wilts, adding a few teaspoons of water to help it along, if needed, and scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Turn off the heat.
- Add the scallops back to the pan and pour any residual butter-sauce over top. Drizzle the dish with sesame oil and a good squeeze of lime. Top with scallions and sesame seeds, if using, and serve with rice.
SEAWEED SALAD WITH SCALLOPS
Sweet and briny scallops need little more than a splash of oil and a pinch of seasoning to be delicious. Because they're often enjoyed raw, it's important to purchase fresh, high-quality bivalves. Many store-bought scallops are soaked in a phosphate solution that plumps them up with water (therefore bumping up the price), so it's important to look for scallops that are labeled "dry" or "dry-packed." A waterlogged scallop doesn't sear well, and a phosphate-marinated scallop may taste like soap, especially when consumed raw as they are here. In this 10-minute recipe, the scallop takes center-stage while seaweed and cucumber provide texture, and soy sauce and sesame oil add depth.

BAY SCALLOPS WITH SCALLIONS AND SESAME SEEDS
This simple recipe, adapted from David Paultstich, the chef at The Mark Hotel in New York, calls for just five ingredients - the best bay scallops you can find, butter, scallions, lemon juice and toasted sesame seeds. The gentle bite of the scallions and the tang of the lemon complement the natural sweetness of shellfish while a shower of sesame seeds adds a nutty, delicate crunch.

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH JAMMY CHERRY TOMATOES
The simple, summery dinner is a reminder that in-season produce and fresh seafood shine brightest with little fussing. Seared scallops are paired with cherry tomatoes that are cooked in white wine and butter until they're falling apart, and the whole thing is finished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs and lemon zest. Equal parts casual and elegant, this dish is best served straight from the skillet, with a big green salad, a nice loaf of bread and the rest of the wine.

Steps:
- Heat a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-low and add the butter to melt. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes, until tender but not browned. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Add the wine and cook until about half the liquid has evaporated.
- Add the tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook over medium-heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 12 minutes, until the tomatoes have released their juices and almost completely collapsed. Transfer the tomato mixture to a small dish (use a rubber spatula to get every last bit of the sauce!), then carefully wipe out the pan with a damp paper towel.
- Pat the scallops dry. Add the grapeseed oil to the skillet and turn the heat to medium-high. When the oil is very hot, add half the scallops, spacing them evenly in the pan, and season with kosher salt. Cook without moving for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown on the bottom. Flip and cook for 1 more minute. Don't overcook! Transfer the scallops to a plate and repeat with the remaining scallops, adding more oil if necessary.
- Drain any remaining oil and take the skillet off the heat. Return the tomatoes and their juices to the skillet and squeeze in 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Return the scallops to the skillet, nestling them into the tomatoes. Top with the zest of both lemon halves, julienned basil and mint, and a generous sprinkle of coarse sea salt, and serve immediately.

SIMPLEST BAY SCALLOPS
This recipe, adapted from "Fish: The Complete Guide to Buying and Cooking" by Mark Bittman, came to The Times in 1997, part of a greater piece on bay scallops. In season from November to March, he wrote, they're "best prepared as simply as possible," and made as they are here: with just a quick sear, a sprinkling of salt and some lemon wedges to let their flavor shine through.
