This delicious dish is loaded with flavor and is a breeze to put together. Scallops are a great seafood option because not only are they a lean source of protein, but they’re also sustainable. You’ll have sauce leftover—feel free to drizzle over the scallops or use on a side of steamed sugar snap peas, bok choy or green beans. Enjoy!

Ingredients
 

  • 1 pound sea scallops
  • 3 tablespoons white miso, or any color miso
  • 2 tablespoons mirin, or white wine or sherry
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon grapeseed or canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • said 1 cup sliced scallions, optional

Instructions
 

  • Gently pat the scallops dry. Set aside.
  • Whisk miso, mirin (or sherry or wine), vinegar, canola oil, sesame oil, ginger and garlic in a medium bowl.
  • Add scallops and stir gently to coat. Let marinate for 5 minutes (scallops will fall apart if marinated longer). Using a slotted spoon, remove the scallops, reserving the leftover marinade in the bowl.
  • Liberally coat a large skillet with olive oil spray and warm over medium-high heat. When pan is hot and oil is bubbling, add scallops and cook about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  • Reapply cooking spray and add the reserved marinade to the pan. Cook over medium-high heat until it becomes slightly thickened and brown, about 1 minute. Drizzle the tasty extra sauce over the scallops or toss with steamed green beans or sugar snap peas for a perfect side accompaniment. Garnish with optional scallions or chives.
