Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 large Fresh sea scallops
- 4 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 1 small Garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
- 2 small Radishes
- 1 cup Microgreens
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Start by placing the scallops in the freezer for 10-15 minutes for easier slicing.
Meanwhile, prepare the dressing by combining extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, soy sauce, and honey in a small bowl.
Grate the fresh ginger and finely mince the garlic clove. Add both to the dressing and stir well to combine. Season with salt and black pepper.
Using a sharp knife, slice the partially frozen scallops horizontally into thin slices (about 1/4 inch thickness) and arrange them evenly on chilled serving plates.
Thinly slice the radishes using a mandoline or a sharp knife and set aside.
Drizzle the prepared dressing over the scallop slices using a spoon, ensuring each piece is coated lightly.
Sprinkle finely chopped fresh chives and lemon zest over the top.
Finally, add a small handful of thinly sliced radishes and microgreens on top for garnish and texture.
Serve immediately while the scallops are fresh and cold, ensuring that the delicate flavors are enjoyed in their entirety.
