Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Finely chop the shallots, capers, and cornichon. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Sear the Scallops

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the scallops with salt and black pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the scallops and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove scallops and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the chopped shallots and cook until translucent. Add the capers and cornichon, stirring for another minute. Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow the sauce to reduce for about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Return the scallops to the skillet and gently coat them with the sauce. Cook for an additional minute to warm through. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
