Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Avocado

    Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it gently with a fork and add the juice of one lime. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Sear the Scallops

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the scallops with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the scallops to the skillet. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 3

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving plate, spread a layer of the mashed avocado. Place the seared scallops on top of the avocado. Finish with a dollop of caviar and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro. Drizzle with lime juice from the remaining lime.
