Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine ⅓ cup kosher salt and 1 cup hot water, stirring to dissolve the salt. Add ice water to cool the brine. Add 1 pound large scallops to the brine and let stand for 10 minutes. Line a sheet pan with paper towels and set aside.
- Drain the scallops, rinse under cold water, and then arrange in a single layer on the paper towel-lined sheet pan. Place another paper towel on top of the scallops and gently pat scallops. Remove as much surface moisture as possible for the best browning results when cooked.
- In a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat, add the 1 tablespoon olive oil and let heat until it starts to smoke. Season the 1 tablespoon capers with salt and pepper and add to the skillet. Add the scallops to the pan and sear for 3- 3 1/2 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate.
- Add the 3 tablespoons butter, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon cup freshly chopped oregano, 1 teaspoon fresh chopped rosemary, and 1 teaspoon fresh chopped thyme. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then add the scallops back to the pan and heat through. Garnish with lemon wedges and chopped parsley on top.
