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

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, maple syrup, soy sauce, and rice vinegar until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Season the scallops with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. 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.
  4. Flip the scallops and sear for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  5. 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.
  6. Remove the scallops from the skillet and place them on a serving platter.
  7. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and the chopped chives. Stir until the butter is melted and the chives are fragrant.
  8. 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.
