Indulge in the exquisite flavors of sea scallops, meticulously sautéed with scallions in a symphony of culinary artistry. This delectable dish, presented with three distinct yet equally alluring variations, promises an unforgettable gastronomic journey.

In the classic rendition, succulent sea scallops are skillfully seared until golden brown, exuding an irresistible caramelized crust that yields to a tender and juicy interior.

For a touch of Mediterranean flair, sun-dried tomatoes and briny capers are introduced, adding a burst of tangy sweetness and a savory depth of flavor.

And for those seeking a touch of Asian inspiration, a tantalizing blend of soy sauce, ginger, and garlic awaits. The umami-rich soy sauce, with its distinctive salty and slightly sweet flavor, harmoniously complements the delicate sweetness of the scallops. Freshly grated ginger and garlic add a vibrant sharpness and aromatic depth, creating a symphony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds.

No matter your preference, each variation of sautéed sea scallops with scallions promises a culinary adventure that will leave you craving more. So, embark on this delectable journey and savor the exquisite flavors that await.

SAUTéED SCALLOPS



Sautéed Scallops image

Sea scallops and bay scallops differ in size and sweetness. They also cook a little differently. I love a good hard sear on a sea scallop, a little crust, and a splash of wine in the butter at the end to provide a silky acidity against the sweet of the meat. For the tiny, sweet bay scallop, though, I prefer a gentle butter bath. Whichever you cook, be very careful not to overcook. Indeed, there is almost no such thing as an undercooked scallop.

Categories     seafood, main course

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound sea scallops, patted dry
Kosher salt, to taste
1 tablespoon dry white vermouth or white wine
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley, for garnish

  • Place a large sauté pan or skillet over medium-high heat, and add to it 3 tablespoons of the butter. When it has melted and started to foam, place the scallops in the pan in a single layer, and season with a pinch or two of salt.
  • Cook scallops without moving until the bottoms are golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes, then turn them over, add the wine and cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes.

SEARED SEA SCALLOPS WITH SAUTEED WILD MUSHROOMS, FRESH HERB SALAD, AND ROASTED GARLIC BEURRE BLANC



Seared Sea Scallops with Sauteed Wild Mushrooms, Fresh Herb Salad, and Roasted Garlic Beurre Blanc image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

4 shallots, finely diced
2 lemons, juiced
4 cups white wine, preferably Muscadet
4 fresh thyme sprigs
6 peppercorns
2 bay leaves
8 ounces roasted garlic
4 ounces heavy cream
32 ounces butter, cubed and cold
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Honey, optional
1/2 cup canola oil
24 ounces mixed mushrooms
4 tablespoons minced garlic
4 tablespoons minced shallots
4 tablespoons chopped mixed fresh herbs (parsley, tarragon, chives, basil)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 jumbo sea scallops
1 cup canola oil, divided
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Beurre Blanc: Combine the shallots, lemon juice, wine, thyme, peppercorns, bay leaves, and roasted garlic in a small sauce pot. Bring to a boil and reduce until almost dry, leaving about 1/8 cup. Reduce heat to low and add the cream. Begin adding the butter, 1 cube at a time, whisking continuously. As each cube incorporates into the sauce, add another until all butter has been added. Strain through a fine mesh strainer. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. If you feel that the sauce is too acidic, add a bit of honey to balance the flavor. Be sure to use only a small amount of honey so as not to make the sauce taste too sweet. Cover and keep warm until ready to serve.
  • Mushrooms: Place a saute pan over high heat and add enough canola oil to just cover the bottom of the pan. Allow the pan to preheat until you just begin to see light wisps of smoke coming from the pan. Add the mushrooms and begin to saute until the mushrooms are cooked halfway. Add the garlic and shallots to the pan and continue to saute, keeping the mushrooms moving at all times. When the mushrooms are just cooked through add the fresh herbs to the pan and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Taste the mushrooms and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Cover and keep warm while you saute the scallops.
  • Scallops: In a bowl, toss the sea scallops lightly in 1/2 cup canola oil. Season each scallop evenly on both sides with salt and pepper. Put a saute pan that is large enough to hold the scallops in 1 layer without them touching over high heat. Add enough canola oil to just cover the bottom of the pan. Allow the pan to preheat until you begin to see light wisps of smoke coming from the oil. Add the scallops to the pan carefully and allow them to get a deep golden brown color. Turn the scallops and allow the second side to get the same golden brown color. If you want the scallops to be more cooked, place the scallops in a preheated 350 degree F oven until they reach the desired doneness. Serve with mushrooms and drizzle with buerre blanc sauce.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality sea scallops. Look for scallops that are plump and have a slightly briny smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Pat the scallops dry before cooking. This will help them to sear properly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Season the scallops generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance their natural flavor.
  • Use a hot skillet to sear the scallops. This will create a nice crust on the outside and keep the scallops juicy on the inside.
  • Cook the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. Be careful not to overcook them, as they will become tough.
  • Serve the scallops immediately. They can be served with a variety of sauces, such as lemon butter sauce, garlic butter sauce, or a simple vinaigrette.

Conclusion:

Sautéed sea scallops are a quick and easy dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. They are a good source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants. When choosing scallops, look for those that are plump and have a slightly briny smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor. Pat the scallops dry before cooking and season them generously with salt and pepper. Sear the scallops in a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. Serve the scallops immediately with your favorite sauce.
