Steps:
- Remove the small side muscle from the scallops, rinse with cold water and thoroughly pat dry.
- Add the butter and oil to a 12 to 14-inch saute pan on high heat. Salt and pepper the scallops. Once the fat begins to smoke, gently add the scallops, making sure they are not touching each other. Sear the scallops for 1 1/2 minutes on each side. The scallops should have a 1/4-inch golden crust on each side while still being translucent in the center. Serve immediately.

SEA SCALLOPS WITH BROWN BUTTER, CAPERS AND LEMON
This bright yet rich treatment for scallops came to The Times in a 2009 article about Kevin Zraly, the wine director of Windows on the World from 1976 to 2001. Mr. Zraly turned the restaurant into an international wine mecca: at the time it was destroyed, when the World Trade Center fell, its cellar held close to 100,000 bottles of 1,500 labels. Mr. Zraly and Michael Lomonaco, the chef at the restaurant (both of whom were not at work on Sept. 11 when the planes hit), worked together on hundreds of wine and food pairings throughout the years. This was Mr. Zraly's favorite of Mr. Lomonaco's creations. With it, he recommends a Puligny Montrachet, Olivier Leflaive.

Steps:
- Pat scallops dry with paper towels, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Heat a large sauté pan or nonreactive skillet over medium-high heat, and add oil. After 30 seconds, add scallops; do not crowd pan, work in batches if necessary. Sauté until well browned, about 2 minutes, then turn and cook other side. When second side is dark golden, transfer scallops to a platter; cover and keep warm.
- Return sauté pan to heat, add butter, and cook until it begins to foam and turn golden. Add shallot and capers, sauté for 1 minute, then add lemon juice (being careful to avoid sputtering butter) and chopped parsley.
- To serve, place 3 scallops on each of 4 warmed plates. Spoon butter, shallots and capers over scallops, and serve.

SEARED SEA SCALLOPS WITH FRIED ONIONS
Steps:
- Soak capers in water to cover for 10 minutes. Rinse under cold running water and pat dry. Slice onion in rings one-fourth-inch thick. Separate rings.
- Heat enough peanut or vegetable oil to come one-fourth of the way up the side of a deep fryer. Lightly dredge the onions in the flour and place in a frying basket. Deep-fry until golden. Drain on paper towels. Dredge the capers with the flour, deep fry and remove with a slotted spoon when golden. Drain on paper towels.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet until hot. Season scallops with salt and pepper and saute them in two teaspoons olive oil in one layer over high heat, turning once, until seared and opaque, about two minutes each side.
- To assemble the salad, arrange the tomatoes on four plates. Place the scallops on top. Combine the quarter-cup olive oil, garlic and vinegar and sprinkle lightly over the scallops. Season with pepper and garnish with the onion rings, capers and basil leaves.
