Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Sea scallops
- 2 tablespoons White miso paste
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons Rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Rinse the sea scallops under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Remove the side muscle from each scallop if present.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together white miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil to create the miso glaze.
Grate or finely mince the garlic clove and stir it into the miso glaze mixture.
Set your oven to broil and position a rack about 6-8 inches from the broiler element. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with oil or cooking spray.
Arrange the scallops on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one. Brush a generous amount of the miso glaze onto the top of each scallop.
Broil the scallops for 4-6 minutes, or until the tops are caramelized and slightly golden. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
While the scallops broil, thinly slice the green onions for garnish.
Remove the scallops from the oven and transfer them to a serving plate. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve immediately as an appetizer or as part of an entrée with steamed rice and sautéed vegetables.
