Miso-Glazed Scallops
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.
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 avocado or light olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
- 1 cup sliced scallions, optional
Instructions
- Gently pat the scallops dry. Set aside.
- Whisk miso, mirin (or sherry or wine), vinegar, avocado oil (or light olive 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.
