Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 strips bacon
2 bunches watercress, thick stems trimmed
2 Kirby cucumbers, cut into spears
1 bunch radishes, quartered
1/3 cup instant flour (such as Wondra)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 to 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/3 pounds large sea scallops (about 16)
Juice of 1 lemon
1/3 cup chopped fresh chives
4 thick slices rustic bread, toasted

Steps:

  • Cook the bacon in a medium nonstick skillet until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; reserve the skillet.
  • Divide the watercress, cucumbers and radishes among plates.
  • Season the flour with salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings from the skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat over medium heat. Working in batches, toss the scallops in the flour and cook until golden on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook until golden on the other side, about 2 more minutes (add 1 tablespoon oil, if necessary).
  • Arrange the scallops over the salads. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the lemon juice to the skillet, then remove from the heat and add 1 to 2 tablespoons water, swirling the pan to release the browned bits. Crumble the bacon and add to the skillet along with the chives, and salt and pepper to taste; swirl to combine, then pour over the salads. Serve with the bread.

These scallops were cooked to perfection! They were seared on the outside and cooked through but still tender on the inside. The watercress salad was a great refreshing complement to the scallops.
