Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon canola oil
1 cup minced shallot
3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 cup plum wine or dry sherry
2 cups lobster stock, fish stock, or chicken stock
20 ounces unsweetened coconut milk
2 tablespoons sweet chile sauce*
3 cups mango puree, or 5 very ripe mangos peeled and pureed
2 limes, juiced
Kosher salt
1/4 cup whole mustard seeds
3 tablespoons coriander seeds
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
3 cups wasabi peas*
Wasabi powder
Kosher salt
12 large sea scallops
Vegetable oil, for searing

Steps:

  • To make the coulis: Heat the canola oil over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Add the shallots, ginger, and garlic and cook, stirring frequently until the shallots are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the sesame oil, plum wine, lobster stock, coconut milk, sweet chili sauce, and simmer until the flavors blend and the mixture reduces by about one-quarter, about 8 minutes. Add the mango puree and season with lime juice and salt. Simmer for another 3 to 5 minutes then strain and set aside in a warm place.
  • To make the crust: In a spice grinder or mortar, grind the mustard and coriander seeds with the peppercorns and wasabi peas. Adjust the seasoning with wasabi powder and salt.
  • Shortly before serving roll the scallops in the crust. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallops and cook until they begin to crisp then flip. Cook the scallops until they are crisp on all sides. Spoon the scallops onto warm plates. Spoon coulis around the scallops and serve.

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.

Tips:

  • To ensure the wasabi crust adheres properly, make sure the scallops are patted dry before coating them in the wasabi mixture.
  • For a more intense wasabi flavor, use freshly grated wasabi instead of prepared wasabi paste.
  • If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, you can use crushed crackers or bread crumbs as a substitute.
  • To achieve a crispy crust, make sure the scallops are cooked over high heat for a short amount of time.
  • To prevent the scallops from overcooking, keep an eye on them and remove them from the heat as soon as they are opaque throughout.
  • Serve the scallops immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, ponzu sauce, or a citrus-based vinaigrette.
