Sea Scallops

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mango Salsa

    In a bowl, combine diced mango, red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Jalapeño Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together minced jalapeño, olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, and salt. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Sear the Scallops

    Pat the sea scallops dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the scallops and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    On each plate, create a bed of arugula, place seared scallops on top, add a generous spoonful of mango salsa, and drizzle with jalapeño vinaigrette.
