- 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 clove garlic, minced

Мethod of preparation
1. Preparation: Rinse the scallops and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure they are completely dry to get a perfect sear.2. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, combine the honey, lemon juice, orange juice, lemon zest, orange zest, and minced garlic. Mix well and set aside.
3. Sear the Scallops: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it heat up. Season the scallops with salt and pepper on both sides. Place the scallops in the skillet and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they develop a golden-brown crust.
