1
Sautéing the Vegetables
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced fennel, onion, and apple. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and translucent, about 10 minutes.
2
Simmering
Add the heavy cream, salt, and pepper to the saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for an additional 10 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
3
Blending
Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Set aside.

4
Searing the Scallops
Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the scallops, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
5
Plating
On a plate, spoon a generous amount of the apple fennel soubise. Place the seared scallops on top and serve immediately.
