Categories     Seafood

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 slice bacon
2 Tbsp butter
3 green onions, finely sliced
1 lb bay scallops
1 1/4 c heavy cream
2 1/2 Tbsp dijon mustard, stone ground
2 1/2 Tbsp pure maple syrup (the real stuff!!! no pancake syrup!
1/4 tsp rosemary, dried, minced

Steps:

  • 1. Sauté bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels, chop into bits and set aside.
  • 2. Pour off all but about 2 tablespoons of grease. Add butter to skillet. Add white parts only of the green onions (set the green part aside for garnish). Sauté over medium heat 2-3 minutes until softened.
  • 3. Add drained scallops to skillet and heat through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove scallops from pan into a bowl.
  • 4. Add cream to scallop broth in pan and simmer about 10 minutes to reduce, stirring frequently. Add mustard, maple syrup, Rosemary and the juice from the bottom of the bowl of scallops. Simmer another 3-4 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste.
  • 5. Add scallops into broth. Garnish with green onions and chopped bacon. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality scallops. Fresh, dry-packed scallops are best. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have an off odor.
  • Sear the scallops properly. Sear the scallops in a hot skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the skillet, or the scallops will steam instead of sear.
  • Make sure the sauce is hot. The sauce should be hot when you add the scallops. This will help to cook the scallops evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Serve the scallops immediately. Scallops are best served immediately after cooking. They can be served over rice, pasta, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Scallops Dijon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The scallops are seared until golden brown and then simmered in a creamy Dijon sauce. The dish is finished with a sprinkling of fresh parsley. Serve the scallops immediately over rice, pasta, or vegetables.
