1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces

Categories     European

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb dry large scallop (rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 6 pieces
2 tablespoons finely diced shallots (1 medium shallot)
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/8 cup finely chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
1/8 cup finely chopped fresh chives
1/4 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat 12" nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and heat until quite hot.
  • Pat scallops dry one more time and put them in the pan in a single, uncrowded layer.
  • Season with salt and pepper and let sear undisturbed until one side is browned and crisp, 2-4 minutes.
  • Using tongs, turn the scallops and sear until the second side is well browned and the scallops are almost firm to the touch, 2-4 minutes.
  • Take the pan off the heat, transfer the scallops to a plate, and set them in a warm spot.
  • Let the pan cool for a minutes before you make the sauce.
  • When pan has cooled somewhat, return it to medium heat.
  • Add a piece of the butter and the shallots and saute until shallots begin to soften, about 1 minutes.
  • Add wine and simmer until reduced by half, another 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the herbs and lemon zest.
  • Reduce heat to low, add the remaining butter, and whisk constantly until the butter melts into the sauce.
  • Return the scallops and any accumulated juices to the pan.
  • Gently roll the scallops in the sauce to warm them through.
  • Taste for salt and pepper and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side to squeeze over the scallops.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality scallops. The fresher the scallops, the better they will taste. Look for scallops that are plump and have a slightly sweet smell.
  • Sear the scallops quickly over high heat. This will help to caramelize the outside of the scallops and keep them juicy and tender on the inside.
  • Don't overcook the scallops. Scallops cook quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Otherwise, they will become tough and rubbery.
  • Make sure the coriander butter sauce is warm before serving. This will help to melt the butter and blend the flavors together.
  • Garnish the scallops with fresh coriander leaves before serving. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Scallops with Coriander Butter Sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The scallops are seared to perfection and then served with a creamy and flavorful coriander butter sauce. This dish is sure to impress your guests!
