Steps:
- Place scallops on a paper towel-lined plate and pat very dry with additional paper towels. Season both sides with 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper total.
- Bring 1 cup water to a boil, covered, in a small pot. Add peas and 1/2 tsp. salt; cook until peas are bright green and tender, about 2 minutes for fresh and 4 minutes for frozen. Drain peas through a strainer set over a bowl; reserve cooking liquid.
- Meanwhile, add bacon to a large skillet and heat over medium-high. Cook bacon, stirring occasionally, until fat starts to render, about 3 minutes. Add shallot and cook, stirring, until softened and lightly browned and bacon is crisp, about 3 minutes more. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon and shallot to a small bowl, reserving fat in skillet. Add 1/2 cup cooked peas to bacon mixture.
- Purée lemon juice, 1/8 tsp. salt, 1/8 tsp. pepper, the remaining 1 1/2 cups peas, and 1/2 cup reserved pea cooking liquid in a blender. Add oil and pureé until smooth. Add 2 Tbsp. mint leaves and pureé until just combined but pieces of mint are still visible. Divide pea purée among 4 plates.
- Heat skillet with reserved fat over high until just barely smoking. Working in batches and adding more oil if necessary, sear scallops until a golden brown crust has formed and scallop releases from skillet, about 3 minutes per side. Top pea purée with scallops and bacon-pea mixture, then sprinkle with remaining 1 Tbsp. mint.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot; cook and stir until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in lemon juice and cook until evaporated, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits, about 3 minutes.
- Place scallops 1/2 inch apart in the skillet. Cook until browned on the bottom, about 1 minute. Flip and continue cooking until the second side is deeply browned, about 1 minute more.
- Transfer scallops to a serving plate; season with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley.

- Do Ahead: Chive oil can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.
- Place potatoes in a medium pot and pour in cold water to cover by 1". Add 2 tsp. salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are very tender but still hold their shape, 15–20 minutes (boiling will cause potatoes to become waterlogged). Drain and pass hot potatoes through a ricer (or use a masher) into a large bowl (do this right away; cold potatoes will become gummy when mashed). Add cream and butter to potatoes and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until combined and mixture is smooth; season with salt and pepper.
- Pat scallops dry with paper towels; season both sides with kosher salt. Heat 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over high. Cook half of scallops, undisturbed, until deep golden and caramelized, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook until barely golden on second side and just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Repeat process with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil and remaining scallops.
