Miso-Glazed Grilled Scallops image

This simple and sophisticated treatment is perfect for grilled scallops, but also works well on chicken or pork. One note on preparation: Err on the side of undercooking. Take the scallops off the grill before they're opaque all the way through. If you undercook a scallop, it will still be delicious, but if you overcook it, it will get rubbery.

Time 15m

Yield Varies

Number Of Ingredients 6

Vegetable oil, for brushing
2 tablespoons miso
2 tablespoons mirin or sake
Freshly ground pepper
Large scallops
Sesame seeds and sliced scallions, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat a charcoal or gas grill until very hot. Brush the grill with a little oil and position the grill grate 3 to 4 inches from the heat.
  • Whisk together the miso and mirin or sake; season to taste with pepper.
  • Thread the scallops through their equators onto metal or soaked wooden skewers and brush them all over with vegetable oil. Grill scallops until they're browned and release easily from the grill, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • When they're almost done, brush on both sides with the miso mixture, and continue to cook, turning once or twice, until the glaze caramelizes a bit and the scallops are done. Take the scallops off the grill before the interior becomes totally opaque.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions and serve immediately.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less miso paste. Otherwise, the scallops were cooked well and the glaze was flavorful.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my scallops turned out rubbery. The glaze was tasty, but the texture of the scallops was off. I'll have to try this recipe again and see if I can get it right next time.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit! The scallops are always cooked perfectly and the miso glaze is to die for. I love serving this dish with a side of roasted vegetables or rice.

Not bad! I'm not a huge fan of scallops, but these were pretty good. The miso glaze was tasty and the scallops were cooked well. I might make this again if I'm in the mood for seafood.

This recipe is a keeper! The scallops were tender and juicy, and the miso glaze was the perfect combination of sweet and savory. My family loved it, and I'm sure I'll be making it again soon.

Not a fan of the miso glaze. I thought it was too salty and overpowering. The scallops themselves were cooked well, but I probably won't be making this recipe again.

The scallops were a bit overcooked, but the glaze was delicious. I'll definitely try this recipe again, but I'll be more careful with the cooking time.

These scallops were a hit! The miso glaze was savory and slightly sweet, and it paired perfectly with the tender seafood. I served them over a bed of fluffy rice, and the combination was divine. My guests raved about the dish, and I'm sure I'll be ma
