Giant Clam & Hokkaido Scallop

Method

Prep

  1. 1

    Rinse the giant clam meat and scallops; pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. Lightly season the clam meat with salt and white pepper.

Sauce & Flavor Base

  1. 2

    In a small skillet, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat.

  2. 3

    Add minced garlic; sauté 30 seconds until fragrant.

  3. 4

    Whisk in white miso paste, soy sauce, sake, and mirin; simmer 1-2 minutes to blend flavors.

  4. 5

    Stir in lemon juice and lemon zest; remove from heat.

Cooking

  1. 6

    Sear giant clam

    Heat a heavy skillet over high heat. Add a little oil. Sear the giant clam meat for 1.5-2 minutes per side until caramelized and just cooked through. Remove to rest.

  2. 7

    Sear scallops

    In the same pan, add a touch more oil if needed. Pat scallops dry and sear 1.5-2 minutes on the first side until a golden crust forms; flip and sear 30-60 seconds on the other side.

Finish & plate

  1. 8

    Deglaze the pan with a splash of the sauce, scraping up any browned bits.

  2. 9

    Arrange giant clam on plates, top with the seared scallops, and spoon the miso-butter sauce over.

  3. 10

    Garnish with chopped chives and microgreens. Serve immediately.
