Glazed Sea Scallops With Wilted Napa Cabbage Coleslaw Recipes

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle in the sugar and cook until it just turns golden.
• Add the cabbage and 1/2 teaspoon salt, cover and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes. Add the broth and continue cooking, covered, until crisp-tender, another 15 minutes. Preheat the broiler to high.
• Transfer the cabbage to a flameproof casserole dish. Wipe out the skillet, then add the remaining 6 tablespoons butter and melt over medium heat. Brush the scallops with some of the butter and season with salt and pepper; arrange in a single layer over the cabbage in the casserole dish and broil until firm, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, continue cooking the butter over low heat, swirling the pan occasionally, until toasted and fragrant, 5 minutes. Add the capers, raisins and vinegar (be careful - the butter may foam and bubble); swirl the pan until the raisins are plump. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the scallops and cabbage among plates. Add the parsley to the sauce and spoon over the scallops.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, sesame oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
• In a bowl, toss the cabbage, carrot, and scallion with 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce mixture.
• Remove tough muscles from side of each scallop if necessary.
• Pat scallops dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
• In a heavy non-stick skillet just large enough to hold scallops in one layer, heat remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté scallops until golden and cooked through, about 2 minutes on each side.
• Transfer scallops to a bowl and add remaining soy sauce mixture to skillet and boil until reduced to a glaze.
• Add glaze to scallops and toss to coat well.
• Remove scallops and keep warm then add the slaw to the skillet and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, just until cabbage is wilted, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Season slaw with salt and pepper.
• Serve slaw topped with scallops and garnished with scallion greens.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, oregano, thyme and lemon pepper. Roll scallops in flour mixture until lightly coated on all sides.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet or frying pan over high heat. Add 4 scallops to the pan and sear on all sides (about 2 minutes for each side). After turning scallops, add 1 tablespoon parsley and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Remove scallops from pan and place on a plate in the oven to keep warm until ready to serve.
• Repeat until remaining scallops are cooked, tossing each batch with parsley and lemon juice.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl combine cabbage, bok choy, and red sweet pepper strips and onion crescents, if using.
• In a small mixing bowl stir together seasoned rice vinegar or white vinegar and seasame oil.
• Toss with the cabbage mixture.
