Description
Miso-Maple Glazed Seared Scallops with Chive Butter delightfully elevates dinner!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large sea scallops, patted dry
- 2 tablespoons miso paste (white or yellow)
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, maple syrup, soy sauce, and rice vinegar until smooth. Set aside.
- Season the scallops with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the scallops in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Sear for 2-3 minutes without moving them until a golden crust forms.
- Flip the scallops and sear for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the miso-maple glaze over the scallops. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, gently spooning the glaze over the scallops until they are cooked through and caramelized.
- Remove the scallops from the skillet and place them on a serving platter.
- In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and the chopped chives. Stir until the butter is melted and the chives are fragrant.
- Drizzle the chive butter over the scallops before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze.
- For a different flavor profile, substitute the chives with fresh parsley or cilantro.
