Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 fresh large sea scallops
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 thinly sliced radishes
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 0.5 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 0.5 cup microgreens (optional)
Instructions
Start by selecting the freshest large sea scallops available. Rinse the scallops in cold water and gently pat them dry with a paper towel.
Place the scallops on a clean cutting board and use a sharp knife to slice each scallop horizontally into thin, even discs about 1/8 inch thick.
Arrange the scallop slices in a single layer on a large chilled platter or individual plates, slightly overlapping each piece.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, lime juice, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined.
Drizzle the citrus and olive oil mixture evenly over the scallops, ensuring each slice is lightly coated.
Scatter thinly sliced radishes, fresh chives, and fresh dill evenly over the scallops to enhance the flavor profile and add texture.
Sprinkle the capers over the dish, providing a briny contrast to the citrus dressing.
If using, add microgreens to garnish the carpaccio, giving an additional layer of freshness and appeal.
Allow the carpaccio to marinate for about 5 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
Serve immediately as a beautiful and elegant appetizer, ensuring the composer plate is chilled for the best tasting experience.
