1
Prepare the potatoes
Wash the fingerling potatoes and boil them in salted water for about 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
2
Sauté the leeks
Slice the leeks thinly and sauté them in a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
3
Cook the scallops
In a separate skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Season the scallops with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the scallops and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat.
4
Prepare the orange sauce
In the same skillet after removing the scallops, add the fresh orange juice. Simmer for about 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
5
Plate the dish
On each plate, arrange the sautéed leeks and fingerling potatoes. Place a seared scallop on top and drizzle with the orange sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley.
