Seaweed Salad With Scallops Recipes

SEARED SEA SCALLOP SALAD WITH HONEY-LIME DRESSING RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a nonreactive bowl whisk together juice, honey, white wine or rice vinegar, and salt until the honey is completely incorporated.
• Taste and adjust accordingly.
• Set aside.
• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat oil in a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add a few scallops to skillet, being careful not to crowd the pan (if scallops are too close, moisture they emit can't escape, and scallops will steam, not sear).
• Cook 2 to 4 minutes per side (and at least 30 seconds longer than you think) until golden brown on outside and scallops can be turned easily.
• Turn and cook just until opaque throughout (remove 1 scallop and cut it open to check).
• Transfer to a plate; repeat with remaining scallops.
• To serve, arrange greens and vegetables on individual plates. Place scallops on top, whisk dressing to recombine, then drizzle sparingly over top. Recipe Source: by Katherine Fausset, et al; (Villard Books) Reprinted with permission.
