SCALLOP SALAD
This ultrasimple scallop salad, brought to The Times in 2012, comes from Jair Téllez's restaurant in Mexico City, MeroToro. Easy enough for a weeknight, it requires only a few ingredients. Tender, earthy boiled potatoes complement the quick-seared scallops, while spring onions lend a bit of sharpness.

- Put a dry skillet on medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the spring onions, cut-side down, and cook until charred. Remove from heat, chop and put in a large serving bowl.
- Reduce skillet heat to medium; add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the potatoes. Sprinkle with salt and cook until browned; remove and add to the serving bowl.
- Keep the skillet on medium heat, and add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the scallops. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook for 1 minute, never turning. Turn off the heat. Add an additional tablespoon olive oil and the sherry vinegar and stir. Add the scallops, cooking liquid and mixed greens and herbs to the bowl with the spring onions and potatoes and toss, adding more olive oil and vinegar as needed. Taste and adjust the seasoning; serve.

Steps:
- In a small bowl whisk together half the garlic paste, 2 tablespoons of the oil, and salt and pepper to taste, add the bread cubes, and toss the mixture well. Bake the bread cubes on a baking sheet in the middle of a preheated 350° F. oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the croutons are golden.
- In a large bowl whisk together the remaining garlic paste, 2 tablespoons of the remaining oil, the anchovy paste, the lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste until the dressing is combined well. In a bowl toss the shrimp and the scallops with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and salt and pepper to taste and grill them in a ridged grill pan or on an oiled rack set about 6 inches over glowing coals for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are cooked through and the scallops are opaque. Transfer the shell fish to the large bowl, add the romaine and 1 tablespoon of the Parmesan, and toss the salad well. Divide the salad between 2 plates and sprinkle the croutons and 1/2 tablespoon of the remaining Parmesan over each serving.
TRIPLE SESAME SALAD WITH SCALLOPS
The perfect whole-meal salad features as much flavor, texture, and bulk as any other well-prepared meal, and the fact that the base is a pile of greens makes me feel like I'm getting away with something. This one takes about ten minutes longer than a plain green salad and by changing the topping can be made in different ways every time, always with a minimum of effort. Use a blender for the dressing; it makes quick work of dispersing the sesame paste or peanut butter throughout the liquid ingredients-something that can be a real hassle with a fork or a whisk-creating a perfect emulsion. And because the blender purees the garlic and ginger, there's no need to mince them; just peel, chop roughly, and drop them into the blender with the other ingredients. My first choice for topping this salad is grilled scallops-they're almost ludicrously fast and easy, and their texture and flavor complement both greens and dressing-though shrimp, steak, or chicken thighs all could be substituted.

Steps:
- Start a grill. Combine the soy sauce, vinegar, tahini, sesame oil, hot pepper, honey, garlic, and ginger in a blender and whiz until smooth. When the grill is hot, sprinkle the scallops with salt and grill them for about 2 minutes per side; they should remain tender and undercooked in the middle.
- Combine the greens and basil if you're using it and divide among 4 plates. When the scallops are done, top the greens with them, then drizzle with the dressing; sprinkle with the sesame seeds and serve.

- Make praline:
- In a bowl stir together pecans, salt, and cayenne. In a dry small heavy skillet or saucepan cook sugar over moderate heat, stirring with a fork, until melted and cook, without stirring, swirling skillet or pan, until a golden caramel. Add pecan mixture and stir to coat nuts with caramel. Spoon praline onto a sheet of foil and cool. Transfer praline to a cutting board and chop fine.

On a sheet of wax paper combine flour, salt, cumin, and cayenne and dip flat sides of each scallop into mixture to coat, knocking off excess. In a skillet heat butter and olive oil over moderately high heat until foam subsides and sauté scallops, flat sides down, until golden and just cooked through, about 2 minutes on each flat side. Remove skillet from heat and cool scallops slightly.
- In a large bowl whisk together lemon juice , extra-virgin olive oil, mustard, and salt and pepper to taste until emulsified. Peel and pit avocado and cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. Cut wedges in half crosswise and add to dressing. Add scallops with any liquid remaining in skillet, tatsoi or spinach, and praline and gently toss to coat.
