Citrus Spiced Scallops with Olive Relish
Easy and delicious scallops to prepare with citrus and olives!
Serves 4
Ingredients
2–3 tbs. butter
1/4 c. parsley, finely chopped
1 tbs. whole grain mustard
zest and juice of 1 lemon
1/2 c kalamata olives, sliced
4 navel oranges, segmented
2–3 tbs. Citrus Herb Rub
2–3 tbs. olive oil, plus 1/4 cup olive oil
16 U-10 Scallops
Instruction
For the Scallops: Preheat the cast iron pan to medium-high heat. Pat the scallops dry with paper towels. Pull off the small muscle that’s attached to the scallop. Lay scallops out evenly on a sheet pan. Season with citrus herb rub on both sides. Add olive oil to the pan. Add scallops to the pan. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan. It can be done in two batches. Sear for 1–2 minutes. Do not move the scallops. Flip over and add butter. Cook for another 1–2 minutes.
For the orange segments:
Using a knife, trim off the stop and bottom of the orange. Place orange on the flat side. Cut off the peel on the sides of the orange. Be sure to remove pith to avoid bitterness. Using the knife, cut in between the lines of the orange to remove the orange flesh. Make sure you get as close as possible to the white membrane of the orange. Repeat until the orange is complete. Once complete, squeeze the remaining orange for excess juice. For the Olive Relish: In stainless steel, add zest, juice of lemon, juice of orange, mustard, garlic. Slowly drizzle in olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add olives, orange segments, and parsley. Taste. Serve with scallops.
