Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
5 tablespoons butter, divided
1 ½ pounds sea scallops, rinsed and drained
1 teaspoon salt to taste
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ cup dry white wine
1 lemon, zested
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon

Steps:

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Season scallops with salt and pepper. Place half of the scallops in the skillet without crowding; cook until browned, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove scallops to a plate. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 tablespoon butter in the skillet, and cook remaining scallops. Remove to plate.
Wipe out skillet, and return skillet to medium heat. Pour in wine, and boil 1 or 2 minutes, until reduced to about 2 tablespoons. Reduce heat to low, and whisk in the remaining 4 tablespoons butter; just softening butter to form a smooth sauce. Stir in salt, lemon zest, and tarragon. Pour sauce over scallops.
