Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 tablespoons Pernod
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 sea scallops
8 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Lemon-Fennel Dressing, recipe follows
2 lemons, halved and grilled
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh fennel tops

Steps:

  • Heat grill to high.
  • Whisk together the garlic, Pernod, olive oil, and salt and pepper, to taste, in a large baking dish. Add the scallops, turn to coat, cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • Skewer 3 scallops onto 2 skewers so that the scallops lay flat. Season the scallops with salt and pepper on both sides and grill for about 2 minutes per side or until just cooked through. Transfer to a serving platter and immediately drizzle with the Lemon-Fennel Dressing. Serve with grilled lemons on the side.
  • Whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, and salt and pepper, to taste, in a medium bowl until combined. Slowly whisk in the oil until emulsified and then stir in the chopped fresh fennel tops.

The scallops were a bit tough, but the dressing was delicious. I think I'll try marinating the scallops next time.

I added a bit of smoked paprika to the dressing for a smoky flavor. It was a nice touch.

I used frozen scallops which worked out well. Just be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.

Not a fan of fennel, so I omitted it from the dressing. Still turned out great!

This dish was a bit too oily for my taste, but the flavors were on point. Next time I'll try using less olive oil.

Scrumptious! The scallops were cooked perfectly and the lemon-fennel dressing was a delightful complement. I served it over a bed of arugula and it was a hit with my family.
