Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound sea scallops
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Pat the sea scallops dry with paper towels and season them with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the butter is melted and starts to foam, add the scallops in a single layer. Cook them undisturbed for 2-3 minutes on one side until a golden crust forms, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove the scallops from the skillet and set them aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce by half.
Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Simmer the sauce for another 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the scallops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cook for 1-2 minutes, just until heated through and coated with the sauce.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the dish with chopped parsley.
Serve the Scallops Dijon immediately with crusty bread, rice, or roasted vegetables to soak up the sauce.
