Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 pound sea scallops
2 tablespoons minced shallot
1 large bunch of watercress, coarse stems discarded, rinsed and spun dry (about 3 cups)
1 carrot, shredded
1/2 cup cooked fresh or thawed frozen corn kernels

Steps:

  • In a small bowl whisk together well the mustard, the vinegar,
  • 2 tablespoons of the oil, and salt and pepper to taste. In a skillet (preferably non-stick) just large enough to hold the scallops in one layer heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it sauté the scallops, patted dry and seasoned with salt and pepper, for 2 minutes on each side, or until they are just golden and cooked through. With a slotted spoon transfer the scallops to a bowl and keep them warm. To the skillet add the shallot and about 1 tablespoon of the vinaigrette and cook the mixture over moderate heat, stirring, until the shallot is softened. Remove the skillet from the heat, add the scallops, and shake the skillet to coat them with the vinaigrette. In another bowl toss the remaining vinaigrette with the watercress, the carrot, and the corn, divide the salad between 2 dinner plates, and arrange half the scallops around each salad.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my scallops turned out rubbery. The watercress and corn salad were good, though.

The scallops were a little overcooked for my taste, but the watercress and corn salad were delicious.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The scallops are sweet and briny, the watercress is peppery, and the corn salad is sweet and crunchy. It's a perfect balance of flavors.

These scallops were cooked to perfection! They were seared on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. The watercress and corn salad added a nice freshness and crunch to the dish.
