Provided by Food Network

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound bay scallops
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Choose a saute pan large enough to hold all of the scallops in one layer without overcrowding the pan or without them touching each other. Cook in batches if necessary. Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter until nearly smoking. Add the scallops and do not move or shake pan, but allow the scallops to brown well on one side before tossing the pan to flip them or gently turning them with a spatula to cook the second side.
  • Remove the scallops from the pan and place on a warm serving platter. Return the pan in which the scallops had been cooked to the fire, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sweet butter, and cook until the butter begins to turn a light brown color. When the butter has browned to a hazelnut color add the lemon juice and chopped parsley.
  • Pour the classic lemon butter over the scallops, garnish with heart-shaped croutons and serve promptly.

Lemon Buttered Seared Scallops image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound dry sea scallops (12 to 15 scallops), side muscles removed
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons Compound Lemon Butter, recipe follows
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon lemon zest plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Place the scallops on a paper towel-lined sheet tray and pat dry. Sprinkle the scallops with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat a large nonstick saute pan on medium-high heat, then add the oil and heat until shimmering. Add the scallops and sear on one side until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently turn the scallops over and add the Lemon Butter, basting the scallops by gently spooning the melting butter over the top, for about 1 minute.
  • Add the wine and lemon juice and allow the scallops to simmer until they are cooked through, another 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the scallops to a platter and sprinkle with the chives.
  • Combine the butter, lemon zest, lemon juice and salt in a medium bowl and stir until smooth. Spoon the butter onto the lower third of a piece of plastic wrap. Fold the plastic wrap over the butter and use a spatula to compress the butter into a log about 5 inches long and 2 inches wide. Twist both ends of the plastic wrap to seal the butter inside. Refrigerate the butter until firm, at least 30 minutes, before using.

SEA SCALLOPS WITH BROWN BUTTER, CAPERS AND LEMON



Sea Scallops With Brown Butter, Capers and Lemon image

This bright yet rich treatment for scallops came to The Times in a 2009 article about Kevin Zraly, the wine director of Windows on the World from 1976 to 2001. Mr. Zraly turned the restaurant into an international wine mecca: at the time it was destroyed, when the World Trade Center fell, its cellar held close to 100,000 bottles of 1,500 labels. Mr. Zraly and Michael Lomonaco, the chef at the restaurant (both of whom were not at work on Sept. 11 when the planes hit), worked together on hundreds of wine and food pairings throughout the years. This was Mr. Zraly's favorite of Mr. Lomonaco's creations. With it, he recommends a Puligny Montrachet, Olivier Leflaive.

BUTTERY SCALLOPS WITH LEMON AND HERBS



Buttery Scallops With Lemon and Herbs image

Simple and very speedy, this dish shows off the sweetness and delicacy of fresh sea scallops, seasoned with only lemon, garlic, herbs and a sprinkle of red-pepper flakes. A little butter gives it a touch of richness, while the grated lemon zest adds brightness and a jolt of acid. You can serve this with a big green salad for a light meal, or over buttered noodles or mashed potatoes for something more substantial.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     quick, seafood, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds sea scallops, patted dry
Salt and black pepper
4 to 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons minced thyme leaves
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for garnish
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
1/2 cup chopped soft herbs (such as basil, chives, mint or cilantro), for garnish

Steps:

  • Season scallops lightly on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large, preferably nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add 3 tablespoons butter and let melt. Place seasoned scallops in the pan in a single layer without touching. (Do this in batches if necessary, using another tablespoon of butter if needed for the second batch.) Cook without moving until bottoms are golden brown, 3 minutes.
  • Flip the scallops and add another tablespoon of butter to the pan. Stir in garlic and thyme, and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute longer.
  • If you took any of the scallops out of the pan to cook them in batches, put them back in now. Pour lemon juice on top of all the scallops, sprinkle with the lemon zest, and toss everything gently to combine.
  • Transfer scallops to serving plates and sprinkle red-pepper flakes on top. Garnish with chopped soft herbs and lemon wedges, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked scallops. Just be sure to thaw them before using.
  • If you don't have white wine, you can substitute dry vermouth or chicken broth.
  • Be careful not to overcook the scallops. They should be cooked through, but still slightly translucent in the center.
  • Serve the scallops immediately, while they are still hot.

This recipe for Endive with Lemon and Sautéed Scallops is a light and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer meal.
