Ingredients
- 1/2 lb 8 oz sea scallops
- 1 tsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 lemon
- 1 navel orange
- 1 small clove garlic (crushed)
- kosher salt and fresh pepper
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cups mixed baby greens
- 2 cups baby arugula
- 1 tbsp red onion (chopped)
Instructions
- Citrus Mojo Vinaigrette: In a small bowl whisk olive oil, juice from half lemon, juice from 1/4 of the orange, crushed garlic, salt and pepper.
- Peel the remaining orange and chop into small chunks.
- Arrange mixed greens and arugula in the center of a plate or platter.
- Top with red onion.
- Wash scallops and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Season with salt.
- Heat a medium size pan on a high flame.
- When pan is hot, melt butter and place scallops in the pan.
- Sear without touching them for a few minutes until the bottom forms a nice caramel colored crust.
- Turn over and cook about another minute while their centers are still slightly translucent (you can check this by viewing them from the side). Be careful not to overcook.
- Remove from the pan and arrange around the greens.
- Arrange oranges on the plate and drizzle with vinaigrette.
