Seared Scallops with Summer Mesclun Greens
Ingredients:
- 1 pound Sea Scallops
- Garlic infused olive oil
- Kosher Salt
- Fresh Ground Black Pepper
Technique:
Preheat oven to 375-degrees. Prepare scallops by making sure they are free of sand. If sandy, use a wet paper towel to clean. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a hot oven-proof saute pan. Add 2 cloves fresh garlic. Simmer in oil for about 2 minutes, being careful not to burn. Remove garlic from oil and remove half of oil from pan. Add scallops and sear on one side. Do not overcook. Turn scallops and transfer pan to oven. Bake for no longer than 2 minutes. Remove pan from oven. Add to a individual plates that have been prepared with fresh mesclun salad greens. Finish with salt and pepper. You can also add balsamic vinegar to pan once scallops have been removed (about 4 tablespoons), reduce heat and reduce until the sauce thickens just a bit. Pour over prepared scallops and greens. Serve immediately.
