Serves 4
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
2 teaspoons unsalted butter or Olive oil
1 pound jumbo sea scallops
Bacon jam
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Before searing the scallops, remove any moisture by patting them dry so they don't steam in their own juices. Salt and pepper to taste and sear scallops in a hot skillet with butter or olive oil for 2-3 minutes per side until the scallop starts to brown and split on the side. Depending on the size, you may need to increase cooking time.
Place warm scallops on a plate and top with bacon jam. Remember to warm the bacon jam before serving.
This will be served with a frieze salad with cherry tomatoes tossed in a light balsamic vinaigrette.
