This is a light, spicy, and sweet Scallop dish perfect for dinner parties. I really love Wasabi and the flavor works well with the tropical fruit salsa.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup pineapple, fresh diced
1 cup mango, fresh diced
1/3 cup cilantro, fresh chopped
3/4 cup red onion, finely diced
3 tablespoons lime juice, fresh squeezed
1 tablespoon orange juice, fresh squeezed
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
12 large sea scallops
1 teaspoon ginger, fresh minced
1 tablespoon wasabi paste
1 garlic clove, fresh minced
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup short-grain rice, cooked and seasoned
2 tablespoons sesame oil

Steps:

  • Stir together all of the salsa ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Place 1/4 cup rice in center of 4 plates using a custard cup or any other method of shaping the rice mold.
  • Place 1/4 of the salsa mixture around the rice on each plate.
  • Mix together ginger, wasabi paste, garlic, olive oil, and salt in another bowl.
  • Heat a large saute pan to medium-high heat with some olive oil.
  • Dip each flat end of each scallop in the wasabi-ginger mixture and place in the hot saute pan. Sear the scallops for 2 minutes on the first side without moving. Flip over and finish the cooking process for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Place 3 scallops on each plate. Drizzle each scallop with a tiny bit of sesame oil to garnish. I also like to garnish with a few sprigs of cilantro in the middle of the rice.

The scallops were a little bland. I think I'll add more seasoning next time.

The scallops were a bit overcooked, but the crust was amazing. I'll try again and cook them for a shorter amount of time.
