Steps:
- Pat your scallops dry with a paper towel and sprinkle them with sea salt.
- Heat the oil in a sauté pan over medium high heat. When the oil is nearly smoking, place your scallops in the pan and sear for approximately one and a half to two minutes on each side. Remove scallops to a plate.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the orange and lemon juice, orange zest, grated ginger and butter to the pan. Whisk the sauce together in the pan until it's simmering, then add the scallops back to the pan and spoon the sauce on top.
- Plate your scallops, drizzle more sauce on top and garnish with thyme.

GRILLED SCALLOPS WITH NORI, GINGER, AND LIME
To make scallops easier to grill, we thread them onto sets of two skewers, not one, so they don't spin around willy-nilly when you pick them up.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Mix mayonnaise, lime juice, a pinch of salt, and 1 Tbsp. water in a small bowl; set lime mayo aside.
- Finely grind nori in spice mill. Transfer half to a small bowl; set aside for serving. Transfer remaining nori to a large bowl and mix in coriander, ginger, and 2 Tbsp. oil. Add scallops and toss to coat.
- Thread 3 scallops onto 2 skewers. (This will keep scallops in place and make them easy to turn. You can also use this method for shrimp and small peppers like shishito and Padrón.) Repeat with remaining scallops and skewers. Season both sides with salt.
- Clean and oil grate, then immediately place scallops on the outside edge of the grill so that the skewers are hanging off the side. Grill, turning scallops with handles of skewers, until grill marks appear and scallops are just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side, depending on their size.
- Spread lime mayo on a platter and place skewers with scallops on top. Finely grate zest from lime half over, then squeeze juice over. Top with scallions and sprinkle with Aleppo-style pepper and reserved nori.

Steps:
- Heat grill until very hot. In a bowl, combine lime juice, soy sauce, vinegar, peanut oil, and ginger; whisk to combine. Set aside.
- Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil, and cook noodles until al dente, about 8 minutes. Place spinach in a colander in the sink, and drain noodles over spinach. Transfer the spinach and noodles to a bowl, and add 6 tablespoons ginger mixture and the scallions; toss to combine, and set aside.
- Place remaining ginger mixture in a large bowl; add mushrooms and scallops. Toss to coat. Place mushrooms on grill, smooth-sides up; cook until lightly browned. Turn over, and continue cooking until soft. Remove from grill, and slice into 1/4-inch-wide strips. Add to noodle salad, and place on serving platter. Place scallops on grill, and cook until opaque and firm, turning once halfway through cooking. Transfer to the serving platter with the noodles, and serve.

GRILLED SCALLOPS WITH GINGER BROTH
Steps:
- SCALLOPS: Rinse scallops in cold water and remove small muscle attached to side. Place in medium bowl with olive oil, lime, and cilantro. Marinate in refrigerator for 2 hours. Just before serving, cook on a very hot grill until medium rare (about 2 minutes each side). CHIPOTLE GINGER BROTH: Soak the chiles in hot water until pliable. Pat dry, remove seeds and veins, and cut into julienne strips. Put oil in a heavy, nonreactive pan and cook the chiles, onion, shallots, garlic, and ginger over high heat until well caramelized. Add veal and chicken stocks and cook over medium heat until reduced by 1/3. Add maple syrup, lime juice, salt, and pepper. You will have broth left over. CABBAGE: Cut cabbage crosswise into 1-inch slices starting at top. Discard bottom inch. Rinse and drain, then add to large pot (about 1 gallon) of boiling salted water and cook 2 minutes. Remove and plunge into ice water if not to be served immediately. Rewarm in a little boiling water while scallops are cooking. If using wonton wrappers as garnish, cut slits in from three sides and fry in shallow oil until golden brown. To serve, divide cabbage among 4 dinner plates or shallow bowls, surround each portion with 5 scallops, and pour a generous ¼ cup of broth around cabbage. Garnish each with a fried wonton.
MISO-GLAZED GRILLED SCALLOPS
This simple and sophisticated treatment is perfect for grilled scallops, but also works well on chicken or pork. One note on preparation: Err on the side of undercooking. Take the scallops off the grill before they're opaque all the way through. If you undercook a scallop, it will still be delicious, but if you overcook it, it will get rubbery.

Steps:
- Heat a charcoal or gas grill until very hot. Brush the grill with a little oil and position the grill grate 3 to 4 inches from the heat.
- Whisk together the miso and mirin or sake; season to taste with pepper.
- Thread the scallops through their equators onto metal or soaked wooden skewers and brush them all over with vegetable oil. Grill scallops until they're browned and release easily from the grill, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- When they're almost done, brush on both sides with the miso mixture, and continue to cook, turning once or twice, until the glaze caramelizes a bit and the scallops are done. Take the scallops off the grill before the interior becomes totally opaque.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions and serve immediately.
SEARED SEA SCALLOPS WITH GINGER-LIME BUTTER
Day-boat scallops, the kind that are dry-packed (never frozen or dosed with preservatives), are what you want for this decadent but very simple dish. The scallops are seared on cast iron, but gradually, for a crisp, well-browned surface that intensifies their natural sweetness. Ginger, lime and hot pepper enhance the rich meatiness of all fresh seafood, and here especially so. A roasted sweet potato and a pile of blanched bok choy complete this quintessentially elegant, fast-food meal.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Wash sweet potatoes and wrap them tightly in foil. Roast until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. (If you are using larger sweet potatoes, they may require 15 minutes more in the oven.)
- Using a paring knife, remove the small hard "foot" from the edge of each scallop. Pat scallops dry and season on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Put on a medium pot of salted water to boil for the greens.
- Meanwhile, make the ginger butter: Combine butter, ginger, chile and lime zest and juice and stir together until well incorporated. Season with salt to taste. Set aside.
- Take a cast-iron skillet large enough to hold the scallops without crowding and place over medium-high heat. Add a film of olive oil. When the oil is nearly smoking, add the scallops in one layer and let them sizzle. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook for at least 5 minutes. Use a small spatula to check the scallops as they brown, allowing them to color gradually. They should be quite crisp and well caramelized. Turn off heat and flip scallops. Leave in pan until firm to the touch.
- While the scallops are cooking, blanch the bok choy: Cook it for 1 minute in the salted boiling water, then drain and blot on a kitchen towel. Keep warm.
- Remove and place scallops, browned side up, onto warmed serving plates. Surround with the bok choy leaves and halved or sliced sweet potatoes.
- Quickly warm the butter in the cast-iron pan and spoon over everything. Sprinkle with cilantro if desired.
