Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Velouté Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallots and sauté until translucent. Pour in the fish stock and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add the heavy cream, salt, and pepper, and reduce until it thickens slightly. Strain the sauce and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Scallops

    Heat olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the scallops with salt and pepper. Place scallops on the grill pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and opaque.

  3. 3

    Prepare Chive Oil

    In a small bowl, mix the chopped chives with a few drops of olive oil. This will be used as a garnish.

  4. 4

    Plating

    On a serving plate, spoon a generous amount of the velouté sauce. Place the grilled Nantucket bay scallops on top, add a dollop of caviar, and drizzle with chive oil. Serve immediately.
