Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh sea scallops
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh lemon verbena
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Microgreens, for garnish

Мethod of preparation

Begin by patting the sea scallops dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Season them gently with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat until the butter melts and the mixture starts to sizzle. Arrange the scallops in the pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Sear the scallops for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they develop a beautiful golden crust. Remove them from the pan and set aside. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Deglaze the pan with white wine, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom. Let the wine reduce by half. Stir in the chopped lemon verbena and lemon juice, allowing the aroma to infuse the sauce. Return the scallops to the skillet, coating them with the lemon verbena sauce. Let them warm through for about a minute. Serve the scallops immediately, garnished with microgreens for a vibrant presentation. Pair this masterpiece with a crisp white wine to enhance its refreshing flavors.
