1
Preparation of Ingredients
Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure they are completely dry to get a nice sear.
2
Seasoning the Scallops
In a small bowl, mix together the sea salt, black pepper, and vanilla powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over both sides of the scallops.
3
Heating the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it's shimmering but not smoking.
4
Searing the Scallops
Carefully place the scallops in the hot skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and opaque in the center.
5
Finishing Touch
Once seared, remove the scallops from the heat and drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving.
