Nyt Bay Scallops With Sesame Seeds And Scallions Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200 degrees. Season the scallops well with salt and pepper. Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Add 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil and, when it shimmers, add the scallops. Cook undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes, until they begin to brown and form a crust on the bottom.
• Flip the scallops, add the butter and soy sauce to the pan and use a spoon to repeatedly drizzle the sauce over the tops of the scallops to finish cooking, 1 to 2 minutes more.
• Set the scallops on an oven-safe plate and pour the butter mixture on top. Place the plate in the oven to keep the scallops warm while you finish the rest of the dish.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil to the skillet and heat over medium. Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes, if using, and cook until the garlic is pale golden, about 2 minutes, adding a teaspoon or so more of grapeseed oil if needed. Return the heat to medium-high and add the spinach, in batches, if needed, and season with salt. Toss until the spinach wilts, adding a few teaspoons of water to help it along, if needed, and scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Turn off the heat.
• Add the scallops back to the pan and pour any residual butter-sauce over top. Drizzle the dish with sesame oil and a good squeeze of lime. Top with scallions and sesame seeds, if using, and serve with rice.

Steps:

• In a small bowl add ginger, garlic, green onion, cilantro, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, soy, 1 tablespoon of canola oil, and sake. Whisk ingredients together.
• Place 1 teaspoon of vinaigrette in each soup spoon.
• Season scallops with salt and pepper.
• Place sesame seeds on a plate. Pat down top and bottom side of each scallop in sesame seeds.
• In a saute pan, over medium-high heat add remaining tablespoon oil. When oil is hot, add scallops, placing them sesame-crusted side down. Sear for approximately 1 minute, or until sesame seeds brown. Turn and sear on other sesame-crusted side for 1 more minute. Place 1 scallop in each soup spoon. Serve immediately.
• * The same serving format can be achieved with only 4 spoons by replenishing each guests spoon for subsequent servings.
• Recommended beverage: cold sake

Steps:

• Bring 2 tablespoons of water to a boil in a small nonreactive saucepan, lower the heat and whisk in the butter a little at a time until the mixture becomes saucy.
• Add the scallions, then lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm over very low heat while cooking the scallops.
• Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add the scallops; do not crowd. Cook without stirring until they brown lightly on one side, about 2 minutes. Turn and brown the other side.
• Serve the scallops drizzled with a little of the sauce and sprinkled with sesame seeds.

Steps:

• In a small bowl stir together sesame seeds, salt, and pepper. Remove tough muscle from side of each scallop if necessary and pat scallops dry. Dip flat sides of each scallop in sesame mixture. In a 12-inch nonstick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté scallops on flat sides until sesame seeds are golden and scallops are just cooked through, about 4 minutes total.
• Serve scallops with couscous and lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Heat a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-low and add the butter to melt. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes, until tender but not browned. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until fragrant.
• Add the wine and cook until about half the liquid has evaporated.
• Add the tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook over medium-heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 12 minutes, until the tomatoes have released their juices and almost completely collapsed. Transfer the tomato mixture to a small dish (use a rubber spatula to get every last bit of the sauce!), then carefully wipe out the pan with a damp paper towel.
• Pat the scallops dry. Add the grapeseed oil to the skillet and turn the heat to medium-high. When the oil is very hot, add half the scallops, spacing them evenly in the pan, and season with kosher salt. Cook without moving for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown on the bottom. Flip and cook for 1 more minute. Don't overcook! Transfer the scallops to a plate and repeat with the remaining scallops, adding more oil if necessary.
• Drain any remaining oil and take the skillet off the heat. Return the tomatoes and their juices to the skillet and squeeze in 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Return the scallops to the skillet, nestling them into the tomatoes. Top with the zest of both lemon halves, julienned basil and mint, and a generous sprinkle of coarse sea salt, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place the scallops in a bowl, and add the milk. Stir to coat, and let stand briefly.
• Place the flour in a flat dish. Add salt and pepper; blend well. Drain the scallops, and dredge them in the flour mixture. Place the flour-coated scallops in a large sieve. Shake to remove any excess flour. Scatter the scallops onto a sheet of foil or wax paper so that they do not touch, or they may stick together.
• Heat the olive oil in a saucepan. Add the garlic, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Add the vinegar, and bring to a sizzle. Simmer for 2 minutes.
• Heat the vegetable oil over high heat in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the scallops in one layer. Add the scallops, and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Spoon equal portions of the scallops onto warm plates, and pour some of the tomato sauce over each portion. Sprinkle each with an equal amount of chopped basil or parsley, and serve with noodles.

Steps:

• Put the hijiki into a bowl and cover the slivers with boiling water. Allow the slivers to soak for an hour.
• Mix the scallops and the lime juice together and allow them to marinate in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
• Drain the hijiki, squeezing out any excess moisture. Put it in a bowl. Drain the scallops and add them to the hijiki, along with the hot red pepper flakes, scallion, ginger, garlic and sesame oil. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt.
• Put a mound of the scallop mixture on each of six plates. Sprinkle the mixture with minced coriander and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add the scallops; do not crowd. Cook without stirring until they brown lightly on one side, about 2 minutes. Turn, and brown the other side.
• Remove from the heat, and sprinkle lightly with salt. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• 1. Put sesame seeds in a small skillet over medium heat and cook, shaking pan occasionally, until lightly browned and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Set aside. 2. Place a large nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron pan over medium heat. Add scallops and cook for about 2 minutes, or until lightly browned. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and move to side of pan. 3. Turn heat to medium-low and add butter and wine or water. Cook, stirring and scraping up any brown bits, until incorporated and saucy. Add scallions and cook another 30 seconds or so, combining them with scallops, then stir in soy sauce. Transfer to a serving platter, sprinkle with sesame seeds and a few more drops of soy sauce, and serve with lemon wedges.
