BALSAMIC-GLAZED SEA SCALLOPS



Balsamic-Glazed Sea Scallops image

Pan-seared scallops may seem intimidating to some, but it's really a simple dish to prepare. Sea scallops are amazingly tender, succulent, and mildly flavored, but when you style them up with a flavorful balsamic glaze, they can be a showstopper. They're sophisticated enough for dinner guests, but easy enough for a weeknight dinner.

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Scallops

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 large sea scallops
¼ teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon canola oil
½ cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon

Steps:

  • Pat scallops thoroughly with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and ensure a good sear. Combine seafood seasoning, salt, and pepper and use to lightly season both sides of the scallops.
  • Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops to the skillet, being careful not to crowd. Cook until golden brown and a crust starts to form, about 3 minutes per side. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid steaming the scallops and be careful not to overcook. Remove from the skillet and cover to keep warm.
  • Add white wine, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom. Cook until glaze is slightly thick and syrupy, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Move scallops to a serving plate, drizzle glaze on top, and garnish with chopped tarragon.

Provided by Dorie Greenspan

Categories     dinner, project, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons sugar
1 sprig rosemary, broken in half
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1/2 cup freshly squeezed blood orange juice (or 1/2 cup orange juice plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice)
Salt and freshly ground white pepper
1 pound bay scallops
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 bulb fennel, trimmed, cored and thinly sliced

Shake off excess flour from scallops, and put them in pan with remaining rosemary. Brown 1 minute, turn scallops over, add 1/2 tablespoon butter, and brown 1 to 2 minutes more; transfer to a warm plate.
  • Return pan to medium heat, and add remaining butter along with fennel and endive. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and cook, stirring and scraping bottom of pan until vegetables soften, about 3 to 4 minutes. Return scallops to pan, and add glaze. Stir everything together for just a minute, taste for salt and pepper, and discard rosemary. Divide among four warm shallow soup plates; serve immediately.

SCALLOPS WITH CARAMEL-ORANGE SAUCE



Scallops With Caramel-Orange Sauce image

This recipe is so much more than the sum of its parts! Truly awesome! From "Around My French Table" by Dorie Greenspan I have made this recipe using large shrimp, as scallops are hard to come by here. This serves 4 as an appetizer, 2 as a main.

Provided by evelynathens

Categories     European

Time 20m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 large orange, juice of (generous 1/3 cup)
1 lb sea scallops (I use large shrimp)
1/2-1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and fresh ground white pepper
1 tablespoon cold butter, cut into 3 pieces

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the sugar into a small saucepan. Place the pan over medium-high heat and warm the sugar until it starts to melt and color. As soon as you see it turn brown, begin to gently swirl the pan. When the sugar has turned a deep caramel color (you can put a drop of sugar on a white plate to test the color), about 3 minutes, stand back and add the white wine and orange juice. It may bubble and spatter, so watch out. Turn the heat up to high, stir with a wooden spoon, and boil the sauce until it is reduced by half - you should have about 1/3 cup. Pull the pan from the heat and set it aside. (You can make the sauce up to 2 days ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator.).
  • Pat the scallops dry between two paper towels. Slice or pull off the little muscle attached to the sides of the scallops. Have a warm serving platter and a small strainer at the ready.
  • Put the saucepan with the caramel sauce over very low heat so that it can warm while you cook the scallops.
  • Put a heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. When the pan is hot, pour in 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add the scallops, season them with salt and pepper, add a little more oil if needed, and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until the scallops are firm on the outside and just barely opaque in the center - nick one to test. Transfer the scallops to the serving platter.
  • Check that the caramel sauce is hot - give it more heat if necessary. Pull the pan from the heat and toss in the butter, bit by bit, swirling the pan until the butter is melted and the sauce is glistening. Season the sauce with salt and pepper, then pour through the strainer into a sauceboat or pitcher. Drizzle some of the sauce over the scallops and pass the rest at the table.
  • Note: For even better flavour in the sauce (imo), use the juice of a Seville Orange if you can access.

PAN-FRIED SCALLOPS ON CARAMELIZED FENNEL



Pan-Fried Scallops on Caramelized Fennel image

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 pounds fennel bulbs (about 2 medium)
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 shallots, finely chopped
2 dried bay leaves
Zest of 1 orange
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
8 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon coarse salt
Pinch of freshly ground white pepper
2 teaspoons light-brown sugar
1 14 1/2-ounce can low-sodium chicken broth, or homemade
1 sprig thyme
3/4 cup water
8 large scallops (about 14 ounces), muscles removed
1/3 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, packed
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts, for garnish
Shaved truffle, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Trim the feathery tops from the fennel bulbs, and discard. Trim the stem pieces and outer leaves from the bulbs; clean, and reserve 2 cups (about 8 ounces) of these trimmings for the puree. Slice each bulb through the root into 4 1/2-inch-thick strips.
  • In a small roasting pan, combine the garlic, 1 shallot, 1 bay leaf, orange zest, 1/4 teaspoon cardamom, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, white pepper, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, and the chicken broth. Add the fennel slices, and gently toss to coat with the mixture. Cover the roasting pan with foil, and cook in the oven until the fennel is tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 45 minutes. Remove the fennel from the pan, and transfer to a plate to cool.
  • Coarsely chop the fennel trimmings. In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the trimmings, the remaining shallot, 1/4 teaspoon cardamom, bay leaf, and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the trimmings soften, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover the pan, and simmer until the trimmings are soft when pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and thyme; transfer the mixture to the bowl of a food processor. Puree, adding 2 tablespoons oil through the feed tube with the motor running. Set aside.
  • In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the reserved fennel slices until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan, and set aside. In the same pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the scallops, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt; sauté until brown on the first side, about 4 minutes. Turn, sprinkle with the remaining teaspoon salt, and add the parsley. Sauté until the other side is brown, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; add the lemon juice to the pan. Toss the scallops and parsley in the pan juices.
  • To serve, place 2 1/4-cup dollops of fennel puree on each plate; top each dollop with a fennel slice and a scallop. Garnish with wilted parsley leaves, toasted pine nuts, and shaved truffle, if desired.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your dish will taste. Look for fresh, seasonal produce and seafood.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the scallops, make sure to give them enough space in the pan so that they can sear properly. Otherwise, they will steam instead of sear.
  • Cook the scallops over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear and prevent the scallops from becoming tough.
  • Don't overcook the scallops: Scallops are very delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook them for just a few minutes per side, or until they are opaque and slightly firm to the touch.
  • Make the sauce ahead of time: The orange caramel glaze can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. This will save you time when you're ready to serve the scallops.

Conclusion:

This dish is a delicious and elegant way to enjoy scallops. The scallops are seared to perfection and then glazed with a sweet and tangy orange caramel sauce. The fennel, endive, and rosemary add a nice depth of flavor to the dish. This dish is sure to impress your guests!
