Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place tomatoes in a small baking dish. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and gently shake dish to coat; season with salt and pepper. Transfer tomatoes to oven and roast until heated through and just beginning to split, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Prepare an ice-water bath. Add fava beans to boiling water and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and transfer to ice-water bath to cool. Drain, peel beans, and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together vinegar and 1/4 cup olive oil until well combined. Add tomatoes, fava beans, and mint; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.

Place scallops, seasoned-side down in skillet; cook for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and turn; cook until they are just opaque in the center and golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes more. Scallops should not be cooked all the way through.

GRILLED SCALLOPS WITH PEACHES, CORN AND TOMATOES
The easiest hot-weather supper, this salad benefits from peak-summer ingredients, which need very little prep. You can throw the corn cobs and halved peaches directly on the grill, but if your scallops are small enough to fall through the grates, you should skewer them onto metal skewers or wooden skewers that have been soaked in water. The only thing worse than losing a sweet, meaty scallop into the fire would be overcooking it, so be sure to remove the scallops from the grill before they're fully opaque.

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH JAMMY CHERRY TOMATOES
The simple, summery dinner is a reminder that in-season produce and fresh seafood shine brightest with little fussing. Seared scallops are paired with cherry tomatoes that are cooked in white wine and butter until they're falling apart, and the whole thing is finished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs and lemon zest. Equal parts casual and elegant, this dish is best served straight from the skillet, with a big green salad, a nice loaf of bread and the rest of the wine.

Steps:
- Heat a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-low and add the butter to melt. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes, until tender but not browned. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Add the wine and cook until about half the liquid has evaporated.
- Add the tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook over medium-heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 12 minutes, until the tomatoes have released their juices and almost completely collapsed. Transfer the tomato mixture to a small dish (use a rubber spatula to get every last bit of the sauce!), then carefully wipe out the pan with a damp paper towel.
- Pat the scallops dry. Add the grapeseed oil to the skillet and turn the heat to medium-high. When the oil is very hot, add half the scallops, spacing them evenly in the pan, and season with kosher salt. Cook without moving for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown on the bottom. Flip and cook for 1 more minute. Don't overcook! Transfer the scallops to a plate and repeat with the remaining scallops, adding more oil if necessary.
- Drain any remaining oil and take the skillet off the heat. Return the tomatoes and their juices to the skillet and squeeze in 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Return the scallops to the skillet, nestling them into the tomatoes. Top with the zest of both lemon halves, julienned basil and mint, and a generous sprinkle of coarse sea salt, and serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose the right scallops. Fresh scallops are best, but frozen scallops can also be used. If using frozen scallops, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for 30 minutes.
- Sear the scallops properly. Scallops should be seared over high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and opaque.
- Don't overcook the scallops. Overcooked scallops will become tough and rubbery.
- Use fresh, seasonal vegetables. Fava beans and tomatoes are best when they are in season.
- Make the vinaigrette ahead of time. The vinaigrette can be made up to 2 hours ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
- Serve the scallops immediately. Scallops are best served immediately after they are cooked.
Conclusion:
Grilled scallops with fava beans and roasted tomatoes is a delicious and healthy summer dish. The scallops are perfectly seared and the fava beans and tomatoes are roasted to perfection. The vinaigrette adds a bright and flavorful touch to the dish. This dish is sure to impress your guests and is perfect for a special occasion.
