Honey Glazed Scallops With Peach Salsa image

Another transfer from epicurious for safe-keeping. Sounds delicious, and how can you go wrong with scallops and peaches? The salsa is also apparently quite tasty with mangoes....

Time 1h

Yield 4 skewers, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 3/4 cups peeled peaches, diced
1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup green onion, chopped
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon seeded jalapeno chile, minced
2 teaspoons peeled fresh ginger, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons oriental sesame oil
16 large sea scallops
2 tablespoons honey
fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Mix peaches, red bell pepper, green onions, 2 tablespoons lime juice, chopped cilantro, jalapeƱo, 1 teaspoon ginger, and garlic in small bowl to blend. Season with salt and pepper (this is the salsa, so you can make ahead and chill in the fridge).
  • Mix soy sauce, sesame oil, and remaining ginger in medium bowl to blend.
  • Add scallops and stir to coat. Let stand 30 minutes at room temperature, turning occasionally.
  • Prepare barbecue (I used my Foreman grill here, too!). Combine honey and remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice in another small bowl. Thread 4 scallops on each of 4 wooden skewers, dampened first to prevent burning.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill scallops until just opaque in centers, brushing occasionally with honey glaze, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Spoon salsa into center of platter. Remove scallops from skewers and arrange atop salsa. Sprinkle with cilantro leaves and serve.
