Seared Scallops with Pineapple, Ginger and Lemon Grass Salsa image

I'm still on my healthy eating kick to get in shape for the summer, but refuse to resign myself to just baked chicken breasts and steamed broccoli. This recipe was exactly what I needed tonight - something that involves a little bit of real cooking, fresh seafood, and a ton of flavor. I will have to keep this one in mind for the upcoming summer evenings. If scallops aren't your thing, try this recipe with jumbo prawns, calamari, or even grilled octopus!

Time 45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 shallot, sliced crosswise
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 pinch salt
¼ cup finely chopped pineapple
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1 tablespoon lemon grass, finely chopped
1 teaspoon cilantro, finely chopped
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
½ teaspoon sesame seeds
⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
salt, to taste
½ pound French style green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons safflower oil
4 large sea scallops

Steps:

  • Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the shallot and 1 pinch of salt; cook and stir until the shallot has softened, about 5 minutes. Stir shallot, pineapple, ginger, lemon grass, cilantro, honey, vinegar, sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, extra virgin olive oil, and salt to taste, together in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan, and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Cover, and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Add the green beans, recover, and steam until just tender, 2 to 6 minutes depending on thickness. Immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking process. Once the green beans are cold, drain well, and set aside.
  • Heat the safflower oil in a large skillet over high heat. Thoroughly dry each scallop. Once light wisps of smoke are visible in the safflower oil, carefully place the scallops in the skillet. Sear the scallops until golden brown without moving them, about 1 minute. Flip the scallop and cook until desired doneness, about 90 seconds. Turn of the heat and remove scallops from the skillet. Toss green beans into the still-hot skillet for 1 minute. Serve scallops over green beans and top with pineapple salsa.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of your dish. Look for scallops that are plump and have a slightly sweet smell. For the salsa, use fresh, ripe fruit that is in season.
  • Don't overcook the scallops. Scallops cook quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on them to prevent them from becoming tough. Cook them for just a few minutes per side, or until they are opaque and slightly firm to the touch.
  • Make the salsa ahead of time. The salsa can be made up to a day in advance, which gives the flavors time to meld. This will also save you time when you're ready to serve the scallops.
  • Garnish the scallops with fresh herbs. This will add a pop of color and flavor to your dish. Some good options include cilantro, parsley, or chives.

Conclusion:

Scallops with Fruit Salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The scallops are cooked to perfection and the salsa is refreshing and flavorful. This dish is sure to impress your guests, and it's also a great way to enjoy the fresh flavors of summer.
