Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound sea scallops
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter.
Once the butter has melted and begins to bubble, carefully place the scallops into the skillet in a single layer, making sure they don’t touch.
Sear the scallops for 2-3 minutes on each side without moving them, until a golden-brown crust forms. Remove the scallops from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant (do not let them burn).
Deglaze the pan with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet, and let it reduce slightly for about 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the lemon juice and fresh parsley, then remove the skillet from heat.
Return the scallops to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them to warm them back up, about 1 minute.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley if desired. Pair with a side of rice, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
