Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the salt is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Scallops

    Add the fresh scallops to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill/Pan

    Preheat a grill or a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Make sure it is hot enough to sear the scallops.

  2. 4

    Sear the Scallops

    Remove the scallops from the marinade (discard the marinade). Place the scallops on the grill/pan and sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they develop a nice golden crust. Do not overcrowd the pan; work in batches if necessary.

  3. 5

    Finishing Touch

    Once seared, remove the scallops and place them on a serving plate.

Garnishing

  1. 6

    Add Garnish

    Sprinkle chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds over the seared scallops. Drizzle with sriracha or chili oil to taste for an extra kick.
