SEARED SEA SCALLOPS WITH PISTACHIO DRESSING



Seared Sea Scallops With Pistachio Dressing image

If you're looking for something to pair wonderfully with a few glasses of amber-hued amontillado, you can't do much better than these tender, burnished sea scallops, inspired by a memorable midcourse of scallops with pistachios and licorice at Restaurant Daniel. Though you're less likely to overcook larger sea scallops, remember that quality is more critical than sheer size. In the market, look for scallops that appear fairly dry; waterlogged scallops will never achieve that ideal caramelized crust.

Categories     quick, appetizer, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 teaspoon anise seeds
1 clove garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt, more for seasoning
3/4 cup roasted shelled unsalted pistachios
3 tablespoons fresh tarragon, plus sprigs for garnish
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for pan
2 tablespoons amontillado sherry
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/3 cup fish or seafood stock, or water
12 ounces sea scallops (12 to 16 jumbo)

Steps:

  • In a mortar, crush the anise seeds with 1/4 teaspoon salt and the garlic. Place pistachios and tarragon in a food processor and process until finely ground. Add anise mixture, oil, sherry and lemon juice. Process to a thick paste. Transfer to a small saucepan. Whisk in stock or water. Heat on low until tepid. Turn off heat.
  • Heat a cast iron skillet or a griddle to very hot. Dry scallops. Brush a slick of oil on the pan, lower heat a bit and place scallops in the pan. Sear on medium-high until handsomely browned, 2 to 3 minutes. You'll know when the scallops have browned enough when they can be lifted with your spatula without ruinous sticking. Lightly dust scallops with salt, then turn them. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking until scallops are browned on the bottom and just cooked through, another 6 to 8 minutes. Meanwhile, gently warm the sauce. Whisk and add a smidgen of salt if needed.
  • Spoon some of the sauce in the center of each of 4 warm dinner plates. Poise 3 to 4 of the scallops around the edges of the sauce pool and garnish with tarragon.

SEARED SCALLOPS



Seared Scallops image

For a seafood supper tonight, try Alton Brown's foolproof Seared Scallops recipe. The trick is to add a touch of butter to the pan for a golden sear.

Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     main-dish

Time 8m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 to 1 1/4 pounds dry sea scallops, approximately 16
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons olive oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Remove the small side muscle from the scallops, rinse with cold water and thoroughly pat dry.
  • Add the butter and oil to a 12 to 14-inch saute pan on high heat. Salt and pepper the scallops. Once the fat begins to smoke, gently add the scallops, making sure they are not touching each other. Sear the scallops for 1 1/2 minutes on each side. The scallops should have a 1/4-inch golden crust on each side while still being translucent in the center. Serve immediately.

SEARED SEA SCALLOP SALAD WITH HONEY-LIME DRESSING RECIPE



Seared Sea Scallop Salad With Honey-Lime Dressing Recipe image

A light lime and honey dressing gives just enough zing to the delicate flavor of sea scallops served on a bed of mixed greens.

Provided by Peggy Trowbridge Filippone

Categories     Entree     Lunch     Salad

Time 25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

For the Honey-Lime Dressing:
About 1/3 cup fresh-squeezed lime juice (2 to 3 limes)
5 teaspoons honey (or to taste)
1 tablespoon white wine or rice vinegar
1/8 teaspoon salt
For the Seared Sea Scallops:
2 tablespoons grapeseed or peanut oil
1 1/2 to 2 pounds sea scallops (patted dry)
3 handfuls Mixed greens (such as pea shoots, watercress or arugula mixed with mesclun)
2 handfuls chopped vegetables (such as orange bell peppers and jicama)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a nonreactive bowl whisk together juice, honey, white wine or rice vinegar, and salt until the honey is completely incorporated.
  • Taste and adjust accordingly.
  • Set aside.
  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Heat oil in a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add a few scallops to skillet, being careful not to crowd the pan (if scallops are too close, moisture they emit can't escape, and scallops will steam, not sear).
  • Cook 2 to 4 minutes per side (and at least 30 seconds longer than you think) until golden brown on outside and scallops can be turned easily.
  • Turn and cook just until opaque throughout (remove 1 scallop and cut it open to check).
  • Transfer to a plate; repeat with remaining scallops.
  • To serve, arrange greens and vegetables on individual plates. Place scallops on top, whisk dressing to recombine, then drizzle sparingly over top. Recipe Source: by Katherine Fausset, et al; (Villard Books) Reprinted with permission.

FOOL PROOF SEARED SEA SCALLOPS



Fool Proof Seared Sea Scallops image

I was always intimidated by cooking sea scallops. All the recipes and discussions I saw online said you had to use the dry or "diver" scallops. They said you'd never get a good sear on frozen and they were only good for soups or stews, etc. I can't afford to buy the dry ones so I bought some lovely frozen ones from Sam's Club. I...

Provided by Pamela Rappaport

Categories     Seafood

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lb frozen sea scallops, you want the ones that are flash frozen with an ice coating, i get nice big ones at sam's club
1/4 c oil that will take high heat such as peanut or canola
salt and pepper
1/4 c butter
1 lemon, grate some of the peel off before slicing to serve with the scallops

Steps:

  • 1. There are two critical points here. First, you need a heavy cast iron skillet. I don't know of anything else that will give you the same sear. Second, don't be timid about the preheating, it has to be HOT.
  • 2. I start defrosting the scallops by placing them on a paper towel lined plate, covering with plastic wrap and placing in the fridge in the morning. About an hour before time to cook, remove them from the fridge. They probably still have their ice coating but are soft to the touch. They're almost defrosted. Rinse the ice off and dry well with paper towels. Place back on fresh towels on the plate and let come to room temp while getting dinner ready.
  • 3. Place the cast iron skillet on medium high heat for about 15 minutes. No oil yet. When it's screaming hot add the oil and reduce to medium heat.
  • 4. Salt and pepper the scallops and place in the oil. DO NOT CROWD, I only do 5 at a time. DO NOT try to move them. Let them sit and sear for 2 to 3 minutes. They will begin to release when they are ready to turn. Turn them over and continue to cook approx 2 minutes. The second side will not get as brown. Use tongs to gently squeeze and test that they are still somewhat soft when squeezed. Overcook them and they become rubber.
  • 5. Remove to a warmed serving plate and cook the rest. Add more oil if needed, but watch your temperature, keep it hot.
  • 6. After the last ones are cooked, drain any remaining oil. Add the butter and let it brown. This will go quickly. Remove from heat, stir in the grated lemon peel and pour over the scallops.

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH GARLIC BASIL BUTTER



Seared Scallops with Garlic Basil Butter image

Seared scallops cook quickly - within 5 minutes - and are best when enjoyed straight-away. If you're serving them with pasta, vegetables or rice, make sure they are ready before cooking the scallops. Basil adds a lovely sweetness to the butter sauce, but if it is not available, a few fresh thyme sprigs will do the trick.

Provided by Adam and Joanne Gallagher

Categories     Dinner

Time 10m

Yield Makes 4 servings, 3 large scallops each

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 large sea scallops, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour, optional, see notes
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons oil, such as olive oil, avocado oil or grape seed oil
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup fresh basil leaves
3 to 4 lemon slices

Steps:

  • Use a paper towel to pat the scallops dry. Dust one side of the scallops with a small amount of flour, and then season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil to the pan. When the oil is hot and shimmery, carefully place the scallops, seasoned-side-down, into the pan. Cook, without moving them until browned, about 2 minutes.
  • While the first side is browning, dust the unseasoned side of the scallops with a bit of flour and season them with salt and pepper.
  • Flip the scallops - if any stick to the pan, wait a few more seconds then try again, gently wiggling them side to side to help release them.
  • Add the butter and garlic to the pan, and then swirl the butter around the pan as it melts. Cook another minute or two then take the pan off of the heat. Stir in the basil leaves and lemon slices. Serve.

BALSAMIC-GLAZED SEA SCALLOPS



Balsamic-Glazed Sea Scallops image

Pan-seared scallops may seem intimidating to some, but it's really a simple dish to prepare. Sea scallops are amazingly tender, succulent, and mildly flavored, but when you style them up with a flavorful balsamic glaze, they can be a showstopper. They're sophisticated enough for dinner guests, but easy enough for a weeknight dinner.

Provided by lutzflcat

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Scallops

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 large sea scallops
¼ teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon canola oil
½ cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon

Steps:

  • Pat scallops thoroughly with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and ensure a good sear. Combine seafood seasoning, salt, and pepper and use to lightly season both sides of the scallops.
  • Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops to the skillet, being careful not to crowd. Cook until golden brown and a crust starts to form, about 3 minutes per side. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid steaming the scallops and be careful not to overcook. Remove from the skillet and cover to keep warm.
  • Add white wine, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom. Cook until glaze is slightly thick and syrupy, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Move scallops to a serving plate, drizzle glaze on top, and garnish with chopped tarragon.

  • Prepare the scallops by removing and discarding the hard little muscle that is attached to the side of the scallop. Sometimes that is removed before sale, most of the time not. Rinse the scallops gently under very cold water and pat dry completely with paper towels. If they are not dry, they will not brown.
  • In a large sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of clarified butter and the oil over hot heat until it just starts to reach the smoking point. If you are using clarified butter it may not smoke so test with a drop of water.
  • Once the pan and fat are hot, gently place each scallop in, making sure they don’t touch. Do not overcrowd the pan. The heat should be at about medium high to high. Once you set the scallops in, do not touch for two minutes. They must remain in one place so they brown. If you think they are browning too quickly, lift one and check. They should be golden in color. Adjust heat slightly if needed.
