SEARED SCALLOPS WITH BROWN BUTTER AND LEMON PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut 2 lemons in half and squeeze juice into a measuring glass or small bowl; you should have 1/4 cup juice. Set aside. Using a paring knife, cut ends off remaining lemon to expose flesh. Upend lemon on a cut end and remove peel and white pith from lemons; discard. Cut between membranes to release segments into bowl with juice; squeeze membranes to get any last drops of juice. Fish out any seeds; set aside. Thinly slice chives and place in a small bowl; set aside.
• Pull side muscle off scallops, if needed; pat dry. Season lightly on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet, preferably stainless steel, over medium-high. Pour in oil to lightly coat surface (2-3 Tbsp.); heat until it shimmers and you see first wisps of smoke. Swiftly place scallops into skillet, flat side down, and cook without touching, tossing, or fussing until underside is deep golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Use a thin spatula or tongs to gently turn over; if they resist, cook another 30 seconds and try again. Cook on second side until flesh at top and bottom looks opaque but there is still a faintly translucent strip in the middle, 1-2 minutes, depending on size. Transfer scallops to a plate.
• Pour off any oil in skillet and set over medium heat. Add butter and cook, swirling, until butter foams, then browns, about 2 minutes. Add reserved lemon juice and segments; energetically stir and swirl pan to emulsify sauce. Mix in capers and reserved chives and spoon pan sauce around and over scallops.

ROAST DIVER SCALLOPS WITH BAKED FINGERLING POTATOES AND WHITE TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Scrub potatoes well and drain. Lay Kosher salt in an even layer of a baking pan to accommodate all the potatoes in one batch without crowding. Bake in a preheated 375 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes until just tender. Remove and let cool. This step should be done 1 hour or as many as 4 hours before serving. While potatoes are baking, check through scallops and remove any remaining tough membranes. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut, with a sharp paring knife, the top 1/4 off and hollow out the potato to form a "boat". Reserve potato interiors and tops. Combine scooped out portion with the chopped portion of chervil. 1/2 of truffle oil and butter, season with salt and pepper to taste and refill potato "boats" and reheat in preheated 325 degree oven for 6 minutes. Next, heat 2, 10-inch, skillets until quite hot, as potatoes are reheating. Season scallops and pat dry with paper towels. Distribute canola oil evenly in both pans and put 1/2 scallops in 1 pan. 1/2 in the other taking care to put the "cut" side down and not to overcrowd them. Sear well until browned (approximately 2 to 3 minutes each side.) Remove scallops from pan and drain on paper towels briefly before arranging attractively on 4 warm plates with the now hot twice baking potatoes. Drizzle remaining truffle oil over scallops and potatoes and shave truffle over all garnishing with chervil sprigs.

QUICK PAN-SEARED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot; cook and stir until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in lemon juice and cook until evaporated, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits, about 3 minutes.
• Place scallops 1/2 inch apart in the skillet. Cook until browned on the bottom, about 1 minute. Flip and continue cooking until the second side is deeply browned, about 1 minute more.

SCALLOPS WITH HAZELNUT BROWN BUTTER

Steps:

• In a large skillet, stirring frequently, cook butter over medium heat until golden brown and most of the foam has subsided, about 4 minutes. Immediately transfer butter to a small bowl. Stir in hazelnuts and vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Cover hazelnut butter to keep warm, and set aside. Wipe out pan with a paper towel.
• Season scallops generously with salt and pepper. Place same skillet over medium-high heat. When skillet is hot, cook scallops, in two batches (to avoid steaming), until browned and opaque in center, turning over once with a thin-bladed metal spatula, about 2 minutes total.
• Divide arugula among four serving plates; top with scallops. Spoon hazelnut butter over scallops.

CREAMY PAN-ROASTED SCALLOPS WITH FRESH TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high and add the butter, letting it melt. Add shallots, celery seeds and a pinch each salt and pepper, and cook until the shallots are tender and opaque, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook until jammy, 9 to 13 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium-high and stir in vermouth. Cook until about a third of the liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Add Worcestershire and cream, and simmer, reducing heat if needed and stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens enough to coat a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Season scallops with salt and pepper, and add to the pan. Cook, uncovered, until scallops are just cooked through and opaque, 3 to 6 minutes, depending on the size of the scallops. Stir in chives and celery leaves. Serve immediately, garnished with more chives and celery leaves.

• Add scallops. Cook for 3 - 5 minutes and turn over when bottom edges change color 1/4 of the way up, and seared side has turned paper bag brown.
• Lower skillet to medium heat. Add butter to pan (being careful not to burn). When butter has melted and begins to foam, baste scallops with it for 1 - 3 minutes. (The butter will become amber in color. If it seems to be any darker than "amber", reduce heat a little.)
• During the last one minute of cooking time, sprinkle fresh sage into butter and allow to crisp. Scallops are done when their sides are evenly white from top to bottom (no longer opaque) or internal temperature reaches 140°F.
