PAN-SEARED SEA SCALLOPS WITH BROWNED BUTTER SAGE
This recipe is absolutely to-die-for. I like to refer to these scallops as tender, sweet morsels of heavenly goodness. The scallops turn out succulent with a savory, seared brown crust on top and bottom and decadent bits of sage crisped in browned butter. This dish is worth savoring every last bite!

Steps:
- With a paper towel, thoroughly dry all sides of scallops.
- Season all sides of scallops evenly with garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper. Then evenly coat all sides with flour and pat of excess flour.
- In an oven-safe skillet (cast iron preferred), heat olive oil over medium-high heat until glistening.
- 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.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for scallops that are firm and plump, and avoid any that are slimy or have an off odor.
- Sear the scallops properly: Searing the scallops over high heat will help to create a nice crust and prevent them from becoming rubbery. Make sure your pan is hot before adding the scallops, and don't overcrowd the pan. Sear the scallops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown.
- Don't overcook the scallops: Scallops are a delicate seafood, and they can easily become overcooked. Cook them for just a few minutes per side, or until they are opaque and firm to the touch.
- Use a good quality white wine: The white wine used in the sauce should be a dry wine with a good acidity. This will help to balance out the richness of the cream and butter.
- Season the sauce to taste: Don't be afraid to taste the sauce as you are making it and adjust the seasonings accordingly. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to taste.
Conclusion:
Scallops in sage cream sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The scallops are seared until golden brown and then simmered in a creamy sauce made with white wine, sage, and Parmesan cheese. The result is a dish that is both flavorful and sophisticated. Serve the scallops over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
