Serve butter basted scallops with braised fennel or over a bed of greens. The browned butter acts as a sauce for both the sweet scallops and whatever you’re serving them with.

  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 12 Large Sea Scallops (Side Muscles Removed)
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper
  • 3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter (Cubed)
  • 2 Whole Garlic Cloves
  1. In large-size skillet heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over a medium-high heat. Season scallops with kosher salt and pepper. Add scallops to skillet. Cook 2 to 3 minutes until browned on the bottom. Turn scallops and add butter and whole garlic cloves. Cook, basting scallops with butter another 2 to 3 minutes until browned on the other side and just opaque throughout.
  2. Remove from skillet and transfer to warm plate. Pour butter on top and keep warm.
  3. Serve with braised fennel or over a bed of greens.
