Bacon Wrapped Scallops with Asian Pear Salad
Description
This recipe prepares sea scallops wrapped individually with half a slice of bacon each. The scallops are seasoned with salt and pepper, then quickly seared in a hot pan with olive oil to develop a golden crust on all sides, keeping the interior tender and medium-cooked.
The Asian pear salad offers a crisp, subtly sweet counterpoint by shaving ripe pear paper-thin and dressing it simply with white truffle honey, enhancing its fragrance without overwhelming the flavor. To serve, a dab of chicken liver mousse is spread on the plate, the scallops placed atop, and the pear salad arranged alongside.
Finishing with a drizzle of olive oil, coarse sea salt, and chopped chives adds freshness and a textural contrast. This dish delivers layered flavors and textures that highlight the natural tastes of seafood, pork, and fruit in a sophisticated arrangement.
