Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Sea scallops
- 2 tablespoons White miso paste
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (neutral, like vegetable or canola oil)
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives (for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the scallops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps them develop a nice sear.
Season both sides of the scallops with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, soy sauce, grated ginger, rice vinegar, honey, and heavy cream until smooth. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the cooking oil.
Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the scallops in the pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Sear for 2-3 minutes on one side, without moving them, until a golden crust forms.
Flip the scallops and add the unsalted butter to the pan. Tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to baste the scallops with the melted butter. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove scallops from the pan and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and pour in the miso sauce mixture. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Plate the scallops and drizzle the warm miso sauce over them.
Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately.
