3/4 cup all purpose flour
6 tablespoons sesame seeds
16 large sea scallops
2 large eggs, beaten to blend
4 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 1/2 5-ounce packages mixed baby greens
2 red bell peppers, cut into matchstick-size strips
Ginger Vinaigrette

Steps:

Combine 1/2 cup flour and sesame seeds in small bowl. Lightly dust scallops with remaining 1/4 cup flour. Dip each scallop into beaten eggs, then dredge in sesame seed-flour mixture; shake off excess. Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil and 1 tablespoon sesame oil in each of 2 heavy large skillets over medium-high heat. Add 8 scallops to each skillet and sauté until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer scallops to paper towels and drain.
Toss greens and red peppers with enough Ginger Vinaigrette to coat. Mound salad in center of 4 plates. Arrange 4 scallops around each salad and serve.
