BALSAMIC-GLAZED SEA SCALLOPS
Pan-seared scallops may seem intimidating to some, but it's really a simple dish to prepare. Sea scallops are amazingly tender, succulent, and mildly flavored, but when you style them up with a flavorful balsamic glaze, they can be a showstopper. They're sophisticated enough for dinner guests, but easy enough for a weeknight dinner.

Steps:
- Pat scallops thoroughly with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and ensure a good sear. Combine seafood seasoning, salt, and pepper and use to lightly season both sides of the scallops.
- Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallops to the skillet, being careful not to crowd. Cook until golden brown and a crust starts to form, about 3 minutes per side. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid steaming the scallops and be careful not to overcook. Remove from the skillet and cover to keep warm.
- Add white wine, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom. Cook until glaze is slightly thick and syrupy, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Move scallops to a serving plate, drizzle glaze on top, and garnish with chopped tarragon.

Steps:

Add scallops and scallion greens; cook, stirring occasionally, until scallops are cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Whisk sauce briefly, and add to skillet; cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Serve scallop stir-fry over rice.

BAY SCALLOPS PROVENçAL
Sometimes the best pairings are accidental. One weekend when I had some work to do, I asked my husband to go to the local fish market and pick up one of their marvelous chowders that could be reheated for lunch. He came home instead with a pound of local bay scallops, the first of the season (and abundant this year). Now I had to cook. Fortunately, I had other suitable ingredients on hand and in less than 30 minutes, lunch was on the table. Not one to let a tasting opportunity go to waste, I figured the dish I almost literally threw together would be compatible with a bottle of simple white Burgundy. It had just enough richness in the glass.

Steps:
- Season the flour with some salt and pepper and toss the scallops in it. Heat the oil in a 10- to 12-inch skillet. Add the shallot and garlic and sauté over medium heat a few minutes, until soft. Remove, draining well to keep most of the oil in the pan. Increase the heat to medium-high. Shake excess flour from the scallops and sauté them, tossing, until lightly browned.
- Return the shallot and garlic to the skillet. Add the tomatoes and sauté until they soften, a minute or so. Add the lemon juice and wine and stir just until the ingredients are well combined. With a slotted spoon, transfer the scallops to a warm serving dish. (It's fine if some vegetables hitch a ride with the scallops.)
- Increase the heat to high and reduce the liquid until it thickens to the consistency of heavy cream. Lower heat, swirl in the butter and check the seasoning. Fold in the parsley. Pour the sauce over the scallops and arrange the toast around the platter.

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH BASIL RISOTTO
There's just something about the caramelized crust and meaty interior of scallops that makes them the perfect protein. They also have a naturally delicate flavor, so it's important to let them shine with a simple seasoning of salt and pepper. However, that means whatever scallops are served with has to take the lead with big, bold taste. Cue basil-pineapple risotto! Once you make risotto with pineapple juice, you'll be hard pressed to go without it ever again. If you're looking to wow guests with a meal they'd be likely to find in a five-star restaurant, then this is your dish.

Steps:
- Combine the pineapple juice and broth in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover with a lid and remove from the heat.
- Heat the butter in a large saucepan set over medium-low heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
- Add a ladle of the hot juice mixture to the saucepan and cook, stirring, until the liquid is fully absorbed. Continue adding the hot liquid to the saucepan, one ladle at a time and stirring intermittently, until the rice is no longer crunchy, about 30 minutes.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper, then turn off the heat and stir in the basil. Set aside, covered, while you cook the scallops.
- Pat the scallops dry, then season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a medium skillet set over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add half the scallops and cook undisturbed for 2 minutes. Flip the scallops once, then tilt the skillet and baste them with the oil. Continue cooking the scallops an additional 1 minute, until no longer translucent. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining scallops, adding more oil as needed.
- Divide the risotto among serving plates and top with the scallops.
- Garnish with microgreens and serve.

SCALLOPS AND BOK CHOY WITH BALSAMIC SAUCE
Steps:
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the scallops in a single layer with some space between the pieces (so they don't steam). Cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally after 30 seconds. (If the scallops were frozen, they may need to cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes to evaporate the extra liquid they release.)
- Stir in the remaining ingredients except the vinegar. Cook, covered, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the scallops are cooked through (white and opaque, not translucent, in the center), stirring occasionally. Watch carefully; scallops become rubbery when overcooked by even 1 or 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the scallop mixture to a serving platter. Cover to keep warm.
- Add the vinegar to the liquid in the skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by half. Pour over the scallops.
- Cook's Tip on Scallops
- When scallops are called for, you can use either sea or bay scallops. Bay scallops (as many as 40 per pound) are milder-and more expensive-than sea scallops (12 to 15 per pound). To substitute sea scallops for bay, cut the sea scallops in halves, quarters, or slices.
- Cook's Tip on Bok Choy
- Look for bok choy, with its long white stalks and large dark green leaves, near the cabbage in the produce section. Slices of raw bok choy stalks add a pleasant crunch to salads. Both the stalks and the leaves are good in stir-fry dishes and soups.
