SOY-BUTTER BASTED SCALLOPS WITH WILTED GREENS AND SESAME
This simple dish was inspired by a recipe for steamed scallop and butter rice found in "Donabe: Classic and Modern Japanese Clay Pot Cooking" (Ten Speed, 2015) by Naoko Takei Moore and Kyle Connaughton. Here, sweet sea scallops are seared in a hot pan and basted with melted butter and soy sauce to finish cooking. Tender greens are sautéed in garlic oil, then the scallops are placed on top and everything is drizzled with the remaining soy-butter and a bit of sesame oil. Finish the dish with a good squeeze of lime, thinly sliced scallions and a smattering of sesame seeds. It's wonderful served over steamed white rice, so be sure to get that on the stove before you begin cooking the scallops, as the rest of the meal comes together in no time at all.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200 degrees. Season the scallops well with salt and pepper. Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Add 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil and, when it shimmers, add the scallops. Cook undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes, until they begin to brown and form a crust on the bottom.
- Flip the scallops, add the butter and soy sauce to the pan and use a spoon to repeatedly drizzle the sauce over the tops of the scallops to finish cooking, 1 to 2 minutes more.
- Set the scallops on an oven-safe plate and pour the butter mixture on top. Place the plate in the oven to keep the scallops warm while you finish the rest of the dish.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil to the skillet and heat over medium. Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes, if using, and cook until the garlic is pale golden, about 2 minutes, adding a teaspoon or so more of grapeseed oil if needed. Return the heat to medium-high and add the spinach, in batches, if needed, and season with salt. Toss until the spinach wilts, adding a few teaspoons of water to help it along, if needed, and scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Turn off the heat.
- Add the scallops back to the pan and pour any residual butter-sauce over top. Drizzle the dish with sesame oil and a good squeeze of lime. Top with scallions and sesame seeds, if using, and serve with rice.
Tips:
- Choose Fresh Scallops: Opt for dry and firm scallops with a briny aroma. Avoid any that appear slimy or have an off-smell.
- Properly Clean Scallops: Before cooking, remove the side muscle from each scallop using a small, sharp knife. Rinse them gently and pat dry with paper towels.
- Season Wisely: Salt and pepper are essential seasonings for scallops. You can also add other herbs and spices like paprika, garlic powder, or lemon zest for extra flavor.
- Sear Scallops Perfectly: Heat a pan or skillet over medium-high heat and add oil or butter. Sear scallops for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and slightly caramelized.
- Don't Overcook: Scallops cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked scallops become tough and rubbery.
- Serve with a Delicious Sauce: A simple soy dipping sauce is a classic accompaniment to crispy scallops. You can also serve them with other sauces like lemon butter, tartar sauce, or a creamy sauce.
Conclusion:
Crispy scallops with soy dipping sauce are a delectable and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer or main course. With a crispy exterior and tender interior, these scallops are sure to impress your taste buds. Whether you prefer a simple preparation or one with additional seasonings and sauces, crispy scallops offer a culinary experience that is both satisfying and memorable. So, next time you're looking for a delicious and elegant seafood dish, give crispy scallops a try – you won't be disappointed!
