GRILLED SCALLOPS AND NECTARINES WITH CORN AND TOMATO SALAD
Steps:
- MAKE DRESSING
- Whisk the lime juice, lime peel, and piment d'Espelette in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil. Season with fleur de sel and pepper.
- MAKE BASIL PURÉE
- Blanch the basil in a small pot of boiling salted water 30 seconds; drain. Squeeze to remove as much water as possible, then coarsely chop. Purée the basil and oil in a blender until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl. Season to taste with fleur de sel.
- MAKE SALAD
- Prepare a grill to medium-high heat. Brush the scallops and nectarines with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the scallops until slightly charred and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Grill the nectarines until slightly charred, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the scallops and nectarines to a plate.
- Arrange 4 scallops on each of 6 plates. Toss the corn and 2 tablespoons dressing in a medium bowl. Toss the tomatoes with 1 tablespoon dressing in another bowl; season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Spoon corn around scallops. Scatter tomatoes over corn. Arrange nectarine wedges decoratively on plates. Drizzle some dressing over scallops, then spoon some basil purée over. Sprinkle the sliced basil and fleur de sel over the corn and tomatoes and serve.
- DO AHEAD
- The DRESSING and BASIL PURÉE can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill separately. Bring both to room temperature before using.
