Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Sea scallops (large, dry-packed)
- 2 teaspoons Wasabi paste
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 large Fresh mango (peeled and diced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 0.25 cup Orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Remove any attached side muscles by gently pulling them off.
In a small bowl, mix the wasabi paste with a teaspoon of water to create a smooth consistency. Brush a thin layer of the wasabi paste onto one side of each scallop.
In a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper. Press the wasabi-coated side of each scallop into the breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the scallops, breadcrumb-side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Flip the scallops and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side. Remove the scallops from the pan and set them aside on a plate.
To make the mango coulis, combine the diced mango, grated ginger, orange juice, honey, and lime juice in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and adjust the sweetness or acidity as needed.
Optional: Strain the coulis through a fine-mesh sieve for an extra silky texture.
To serve, spoon a pool of the ginger mango coulis onto each plate and arrange three scallops on top. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
