This simple recipe uses minimal ingredients in order to highlight the delicious flavor of the sea scallop! Garnish with a drizzle of balsamic and chopped fresh basil.
Ingredients
- 12 sea scallops, tough muscles removed
- ½ lemon, juiced
- sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Pat sea scallops dry with paper towels. Season with some lemon juice, salt, and pepper on one side.
Step 2
Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over high heat. Place scallops in the skillet seasoned-side down. Cook until browned on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Season with remaining lemon juice, salt, and pepper; flip. Continue cooking until opaque, about 2 minutes more. Garnish with lemon zest.
Cook’s Note:
Make sure the scallops are dry; they will sear better. Also, once the scallops are placed in the pan, do not move them until it is time to flip them over. Again this keeps a good sear.
