Steps:
- Pat scallops dry. Season with salt and pepper.
- Beat the egg with the milk. Arrange the flour, egg mixture, and panko in three shallow dishes. Dust each scallop lightly with the flour (shake off excess), coat with the egg, and dredge in the panko.
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until it just begins to shimmer. Add the scallops and cook 2 to 3 minutes undisturbed, until golden. Turn and cook 2 minutes more, or until cooked through.
- Plate and garnish with lemon wedges, if desired. Serve with prepared mashed potatoes and sauteed baby spinach.

CRISP PAN-FRIED SCALLOPS
These scallops are pan-fried, but the effect is very similar to deep-fried. Panko crumbs or flakes are Japanese-style bread crumbs. They're coarser and more irregularly shaped than regular bread crumbs, and although they look fresh, they're dry. When used for frying, they absorb less oil and make a lighter, crunchier, more tender and delicate coating that stays crisp longer than ordinary coatings.

Steps:
- Rinse the scallops and pat dry. If they differ in size, cut the larger ones in half crosswise. In a bowl, whisk the egg with the milk, salt, and pepper. Add the scallops and toss gently to coat. Spread the panko on a flat plate and generously coat each scallop.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat until the oil is hot but not smoking. Carefully add about half of the scallops, one at a time. Cook on the first side for 3 or 4 minutes, until golden brown. (If the panko is browning too quickly, reduce the heat.) Turn over the scallops with tongs and cook on the other side until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Place the cooked scallops on paper towels to soak up extra oil. Fry the rest of the scallops. Serve with lemon wedges.
- Look for panko in bags or boxes in Asian markets or supermarkets. We often use Sun Luck brand, but any brand with good ingredients is fine.
- Ask for "dry" or untreated scallops, ones that have not been treated with STP solution (sodium tripolyphosphate), a preservative.
- Serve on a bed of rice with a steamed green vegetable, Peas & Escarole (page 190), or
- refreshing Carrot Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette (page 217).
PANKO SCALLOPS WITH GREEN CHILE CHUTNEY
Steps:
- Make chutney:
- Purée chutney ingredients in a blender, stirring occasionally to assist blending, and transfer to a bowl. Season chutney with salt and pepper and chill, covered, until ready to use.
- Make scallops:
- Remove muscle from side of scallops if still attached. Pat scallops dry and season with salt and pepper. Whisk together eggs and milk in a shallow bowl. Put panko in another shallow bowl. Dip scallops, 1 at a time, in egg mixture and then in panko, turning to coat, and transfer to a tray.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook scallops, 12 at a time, until just cooked through and golden brown (adjust heat if necessary), about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Put scallops as cooked in 1 layer on a rack set in a shallow baking pan. Between batches, carefully wipe skillet clean with paper towels and add more oil. Bake scallops in middle of oven until just heated through, about 3 minutes.
- Serve scallops topped with chutney.
