Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Scallops

    Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure they are fully dry to achieve a nice sear.

  2. 2

    Season the Scallops

    In a bowl, season the scallops with salt and black pepper. Make sure they are evenly coated.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil and Butter

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the butter and allow it to melt.

  2. 4

    Sear the Scallops

    Carefully place the scallops in the skillet, making sure they are not overcrowded. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and opaque in the center.

  3. 5

    Add Garlic and Lemon Juice

    In the last minute of cooking, add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Then, drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the scallops.

  4. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle chopped parsley over the scallops. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and microgreens or arugula on the side.
