Seared Scallops With Raspberry Hollandaise Recipes

Steps:

• 1. To make the Hollandaise: Puree the raspberries in food processor strain through a fine mesh strainer discarding the pulp and seeds. Place the raspberries in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the raspberries to about 2 tbsp. Set aside and let cool.
• 2. Mix teh raspberries with the egg yolks. Melt the butter and set aside. over a double boiler whisk the eggs constantly until thick. Remove from heat and whisk in ghe butter until a nice creamy sauce is formed. Set aside.
• 3. Season the scallops with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot pan with a little oil until brown on both sides about 2 minutes per side.
• 4. Place tablespoon of the hollandaise on a plate and top with 4 scallops. Top the scallops with fresh tarragon and serve immediately.

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.

Steps:

• Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, add the oil.
• When the oil is hot, add the scallops and cook until golden brown on one side, 2-3 minutes.
• Gently turn the scallops, and add the butter and garlic to the pan.
• Continue to cook, spooning the butter over the scallops until they are cooked through, about 3 minutes more.
• Add the white wine, cook another 10 seconds.
• Serve with chives.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Pat sea scallops dry with paper towels. Season with some lemon juice, salt, and pepper on one side.
• Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over high heat. Place scallops in the skillet seasoned-side down. Cook until browned on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Season with remaining lemon juice, salt, and pepper; flip. Continue cooking until opaque, about 2 minutes more. Garnish with lemon zest.

Steps:

• Place a layer of paper towels on top of a large plate or baking sheet and gently lay the sea scallops on top to rid them of any excess moisture. With the scallops still on the paper towel, grab a large pinch of kosher salt and sprinkle it from a foot or more over the scallops. The height will help distribute the salt evenly.
• Use a pepper grinder to crack fresh black pepper in the same manner, getting every scallop.
• Flip the scallops and season the other side. This is important!
• Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed stainless-steel saute pan over high heat. Do not use nonstick-you'll never achieve the proper caramelization!
• Wait.
• Wait.
• Watch as the pan begins to smoke.
• Now, carefully, because the pan and oil are very hot, use tongs or your fingers to place each scallop individually in the pan, leaving room between them. Once the scallops are in the pan, do not move them or the pan or turn the heat down. You're going to want to, because the pan will be hot and splattering and smoking, but resist! You're getting your hard sear. Don't interfere or the scallops will stick.
• After 2 minutes, use a spatula or tongs to gently turn one of the scallops and assess how dark the sear is. If it's dark brown and caramelized, it's ready to be flipped and seared on the other side for at least 2 minutes more to achieve an identical sear.
• When the scallops have been flipped and seared on both sides, they're fully cooked and ready to eat. Remove them from the pan using tongs or a spatula. Add the butter to the pan and a squeeze of lemon juice and scrape up the bit on the pan to create a sauce. Serve the scallops hot and topped with the pan sauce and another squeeze of fresh lemon juice on top.
