MISO-GLAZED GRILLED SCALLOPS



Miso-Glazed Grilled Scallops image

This simple and sophisticated treatment is perfect for grilled scallops, but also works well on chicken or pork. One note on preparation: Err on the side of undercooking. Take the scallops off the grill before they're opaque all the way through. If you undercook a scallop, it will still be delicious, but if you overcook it, it will get rubbery.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, barbecues, finger foods, seafood, appetizer, main course

Time 15m

Yield Varies

Number Of Ingredients 6

Vegetable oil, for brushing
2 tablespoons miso
2 tablespoons mirin or sake
Freshly ground pepper
Large scallops
Sesame seeds and sliced scallions, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat a charcoal or gas grill until very hot. Brush the grill with a little oil and position the grill grate 3 to 4 inches from the heat.
  • Whisk together the miso and mirin or sake; season to taste with pepper.
  • Thread the scallops through their equators onto metal or soaked wooden skewers and brush them all over with vegetable oil. Grill scallops until they're browned and release easily from the grill, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • When they're almost done, brush on both sides with the miso mixture, and continue to cook, turning once or twice, until the glaze caramelizes a bit and the scallops are done. Take the scallops off the grill before the interior becomes totally opaque.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions and serve immediately.

GRILLED SCALLOPS WITH BLISTERED-YELLOW-PEPPER RELISH



Grilled Scallops with Blistered-Yellow-Pepper Relish image

The mild sweetness of roasted yellow bell peppers is a perfect match for succulent scallops.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 yellow bell peppers
1/4 cup blanched whole almonds, toasted and finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups Israeli couscous
1 pound dry-packed large sea scallops (about 16), tough ligaments on sides removed
2 scallions, thinly sliced, for serving
1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Char peppers over the flame of a gas stove, turning with tongs, until blackened and blistering, about 10 minutes. (Or char under the broiler.) Transfer to a bowl, cover with a plate, and let cool completely. Scrape off skins with a paring knife or paper towel.
  • Remove stems, ribs, and seeds, then finely dice peppers and transfer to another bowl. Add almonds, garlic, paprika, vinegar, and oil; season with salt. Relish can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 5 days.
  • Cook couscous in boiling salted water according to package instructions. Drain; drizzle with oil. Transfer to a platter.
  • Heat grill to medium. Thread scallops on metal skewers; drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning, until scallops are lightly charred and just cooked through, about 2 minutes a side. Transfer skewers to couscous. Drizzle with some relish; sprinkle with scallions and cilantro. Serve, with more relish alongside.

Tips:

  • Buy fresh, high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are firm and plump, with a slightly briny smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Pat the scallops dry before cooking. This will help them to sear better and prevent them from sticking to the grill.
  • Season the scallops simply with salt and pepper. This will allow the natural flavor of the scallops to shine through.
  • Cook the scallops over high heat for a short period of time. This will help to prevent them from becoming tough or rubbery.
  • Serve the scallops immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Grilled scallops with tomato-onion relish is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The scallops are tender and juicy, while the relish is flavorful and refreshing. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
