Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Fresh sea scallops
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt
- 1 tablespoon Dill
- 1 tablespoon Capers
- 1 cup Arugula
- 2 pieces Radishes, thinly sliced
Instructions
Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Place the scallops in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes. This will make them easier to slice thinly.
Using a sharp knife, slice the scallops into very thin, even rounds. Arrange the slices on a chilled serving platter so they slightly overlap.
Zest the lemon and set aside the zest. Juice the lemon into a small bowl.
Add the extra virgin olive oil, freshly ground black pepper, and sea salt to the lemon juice and whisk together until emulsified.
Drizzle the dressing over the sliced scallops evenly.
Sprinkle the lemon zest and chopped dill over the scallops.
Scatter the capers over the dish, adding a subtle tanginess to the flavor profile.
Arrange the arugula around the scallops to add a peppery freshness.
Finish by placing the thinly sliced radishes over the carpaccio for a touch of color and crunch.
Serve immediately as a refreshing starter, allowing the flavors to meld.
