Provided by Ashley Manila

Categories     Dinner

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 and 1/2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 and 1/2 teaspoons sriracha sauce
3 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 and 1/2 pounds large sea scallops, muscles removed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (or ghee), divided
Chopped scallions and cilantro, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • In a small mixing bowl combine the low-sodium soy sauce, sriracha, honey, Dijon mustard, and vinegar; mix well to combine then set aside.
  • Vigorously pat scallops dry using a double layer of paper towels; set aside. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter (or ghee) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook scallops, in a single layer, until golden brown and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Cook scallops in batches, if needed, adding the remaining butter or ghee when the pan begins to look dry. Transfer cooked scallops to a large plate and set aside.
  • Using the same skillet you cooked the scallops in, reduce the heat to medium-low and carefully add in the honey mixture. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, or until it's reduced to a glaze. Quickly return scallops to skillet and toss well to coat. Sprinkle with cilantro and scallions, if desired, and serve at once. I love serving these scallops with brown rice and broccoli!

  • Prepare the Marinade: Whisk together honey, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and black pepper in a bowl. The marinade adds a delicious flavor to the scallops.
  • Marinate the Scallops: Place the scallops in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours. Longer marination time will result in more flavorful scallops.
  • Preheat the Broiler: Set your broiler to high heat and preheat it for at least 5 minutes before cooking the scallops.
  • Broil the Scallops: Place the scallops on a lightly oiled baking sheet or grill pan. Broil for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the scallops are cooked through and slightly browned.
  • Serve Immediately: Broiled scallops are best served immediately, while they are still hot and juicy. You can garnish them with chopped fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley.
