TARRAGON LOVER'S SCALLOPS
Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Season scallops with salt and pepper.

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 tablespoon butter in the skillet, and cook remaining scallops. Remove to plate.

Steps:
- Separate the scallops on a large plate and refrigerate, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
- Dice scallion bulbs and chop the green tops, discarding the tips.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add scallion bulbs and a pinch of salt, reduce the heat to low, and cook 20-25 minutes, until very soft. Add the green tops, toss through, and cook an additional 5-10 minutes until soft but still bright green.
- Sprinkle the flour over and cook for a minute or two. Add the milk, raising the heat to medium, and cook briefly until thickened.
- Add the tarragon leaves and stir through, then turn off the heat and pour the mixture into a blender. Puree until very smooth, then return to the pan over low heat, cooking until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Pour a thin film of oil in the bottom of a sauté pan and warm over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the scallops a few at a time - do not crowd pan or they will not sear properly. Sear just until nicely browned and caramelized, a minute or two, and turn to sear other side. They will release from the pan easily once they�re ready, and should still be soft in the middle, as they will continue to cook off the heat. Set aside and keep warm.
- Taste the sauce and adjust salt if necessary. Whisk in the crème fraiche off the heat until smooth, then spoon a little of the sauce into the serving dishes. Top with scallops and garnish with fresh chives.

Steps:
- Cut 2 tablespoons of the butter into pea-sized pieces, put it on a small plate, and stick it in the freezer. Heat a large skillet over medium-heat high for 3 or 4 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and the olive oil and wait for the butter to melt.
- Pat the scallops dry with paper towels, add them to the pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper; work in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the skillet. Cook, turning once, until they are well browned on both sides but not quite cooked through, 2 minutes per side (less if the scallops are under 1 inch across; more if they're over). Transfer the scallops to a plate.
- Stir in the garlic, lemon juice, and wine and scrape all the brown bits off the bottom of the skillet with a spatula. Lower the heat to medium and cook until the liquid in the skillet thickens, a minute or two, then whisk in the butter you chilled in the freezer, one bit at a time, to make a creamy sauce, adding another tablespoon or two of liquid if necessary.
- Return the scallops to the skillet and add the chives. Adjust the heat so the sauce bubbles gently and toss to coat the scallops with the sauce. To serve, transfer the scallops to a platter and spoon the sauce over all.
- Variation:
- Seared Scallops With Cherry Tomatoes and Basil: Skip the lemon juice. Cut 1 pint cherry tomatoes in half. Add the tomatoes with the garlic and wine and cook until they wrinkle a bit and release their juice, 2 or 3 minutes. Use chopped fresh basil leaves instead of chives.
- Cooks' Notes
- Releasing From The Pan: The scallops will offer no resistance when they're ready to turn. Press down gently while the scallops cook to encourage full contact with the pan, then listen for a hiss: That's moisture heating and evaporating.
- Getting A Good Sear: The idea is to brown the scallops well on both sides without overcooking them, so keep the heat as high as you can without creating too much smoke.
- Building Sauce With Butter: After you add the liquid and deglaze the pan, the addition of butter develops fantastic creaminess and richness.
- Finishing The Dish: As soon as the scallops are cooked through completely and coated with the sauce, remove the pan from the heat; they will continue to cook. Nick-and-peek into one if you need to check for doneness.
PAN-SEARED SCALLOPS WITH TARRAGON WHITE WINE SAUCE
This is one of those elegant meals that are simple and quick to make. If you are using frozen scallops thaw first. The oil should be hot before adding the scallops to keep them from sticking to the pan. Don't turn the scallops to soon or they will stick and tear. Only turn once when they are cooking otherwise the meat will dry out. Found this in Canadian Living.

- Remove the small muscle on the side of the scallop if they have one. Pat scallops dry with a paper towel. You want them to be VERY dry so they can sear properly.
- Heat a large skillet or cast iron skillet to a medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter. Let the butter melt and once it starts to brown on the edges, swirl the pan. Continue to swirl the pan until the butter turns a deep brown color and smells very nutty, it should take about 3 minutes.
- Season the scallops with salt (generously) and a little bit of pepper on one side. Reduce the heat on the stove to medium and add the scallops, seasoned-side down in the skillet. Do not overcrowd the pan. If needed, work in two batches, browing one tablespoons of butter at a time with half of the scallops. They need plenty of room, otherwise, they will steam and won't sear.
- Let the scallops sear for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the bottom. Season the unseasoned side with salt and pepper. Once they are ready they should easily release from the pan with a spatula or tons. Flip the scallops over and repeat on the other side. They should need about 1-2 minutes on the other side.

- In a large nonstick frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil with 1/2 tablespoon of the butter over moderate heat. Season the scallops with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper. Put half the scallops in the pan. Cook until browned, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook until browned on the second side and just done, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil with 1/2 tablespoon of the butter in the pan and cook the remaining scallops. Remove.
- Wipe out the pan. Put the pan over moderately low heat and add the wine. Boil until reduced to approximately 2 tablespoons, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting. Whisk the remaining 4 tablespoons butter into the wine. The butter should not melt completely but just soften to form a smooth sauce. Add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, the lemon zest, and the tarragon. Pour the sauce over the scallops.
