SEARED SCALLOPS WITH LEMON BUTTER SAUCE


Seared Scallops with Lemon Butter Sauce 

Serves: 4

Cooking Time: 4 min.


 INGREDIENTS

  • 1 pound large fresh sea scallops
  • Kosher salt and white pepper, to taste
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted, sweet cream butter
  • Chopped fresh, flat leaf parsley for garnish
  • Lemon, quartered for garnish

 DIRECTIONS

  1. Pat scallops until very dry. Toss the scallops with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt and pepper.
  2. Set induction burner on SEAR setting and heat the oil in a grill pan. When the oil becomes hot, add the scallops and cook the scallops on one side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

  4. Cook scallops an additional minute and remove to a warm plate. Add lemon zest to pan and stir sauce to blend.
  5. Spoon any sauce in the pan over the scallops, and sprinkle the parsley over the top.
