Number Of Ingredients 9

12 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons Fish Stock
1 tablespoon sherry-wine vinegar
1/4 cup capers, drained and rinsed
3 tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
8 diver scallops

Steps:

  • Heat 4 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes; set brown butter aside and let cool for 5 minutes.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring fish stock and vinegar to a boil over medium heat; cook until liquid is reduced to about 1 tablespoon. Reduce heat to low. Slowly whisk in remaining 8 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, fully incorporating after each addition. Remove from heat and slowly whisk in cooled brown butter until completely emulsified. Stir in capers, almonds, parsley, and 3/4 teaspoon salt; season with pepper. Set sauce aside and keep warm.
  • Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season scallops with salt and pepper. Add scallops to skillet and cook until a light-brown crust forms, about 2 minutes. Turn scallops and continue to cook until cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more. Divide scallops evenly between serving plates; spoon sauce over scallops and serve immediately.

This dish was not what I expected. The scallops were bland and the sauce was too oily.

The sauce was too salty. I had to add some water to tone it down.

The scallops were not cooked through. I had to put them back in the pan for a few more minutes.

Seared scallops were cooked to perfection, with a nice crust and tender interior. The brown butter caper sauce was rich and flavorful, and the toasted almond sauce added a nice crunchy texture.
