Seared Sea Scallops Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Vinaigrette

   In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and chop into small pieces. In the same skillet, add cherry tomatoes, cooking until they burst, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Mix in the chopped bacon and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté the Swiss Chard

   In a large pan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the rainbow Swiss chard and sauté for about 5 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. 3

   Sear the Scallops

   Pat the sea scallops dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper. In the same pan used for the Swiss chard, heat another tablespoon of olive oil over high heat. Add the scallops and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
