Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 strips bacon
2 bunches watercress, thick stems trimmed
2 Kirby cucumbers, cut into spears
1 bunch radishes, quartered
1/3 cup instant flour (such as Wondra)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 to 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/3 pounds large sea scallops (about 16)
Juice of 1 lemon
1/3 cup chopped fresh chives
4 thick slices rustic bread, toasted

Steps:

  • Cook the bacon in a medium nonstick skillet until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; reserve the skillet.
  • Divide the watercress, cucumbers and radishes among plates.
  • Season the flour with salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings from the skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat over medium heat. Working in batches, toss the scallops in the flour and cook until golden on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook until golden on the other side, about 2 more minutes (add 1 tablespoon oil, if necessary).
  • Arrange the scallops over the salads. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the lemon juice to the skillet, then remove from the heat and add 1 to 2 tablespoons water, swirling the pan to release the browned bits. Crumble the bacon and add to the skillet along with the chives, and salt and pepper to taste; swirl to combine, then pour over the salads. Serve with the bread.

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 pound sea scallops
2 tablespoons minced shallot
1 large bunch of watercress, coarse stems discarded, rinsed and spun dry (about 3 cups)
1 carrot, shredded
1/2 cup cooked fresh or thawed frozen corn kernels

Steps:

  • In a small bowl whisk together well the mustard, the vinegar,

In a skillet (preferably non-stick) just large enough to hold the scallops in one layer heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it sauté the scallops, patted dry and seasoned with salt and pepper, for 2 minutes on each side, or until they are just golden and cooked through. With a slotted spoon transfer the scallops to a bowl and keep them warm. To the skillet add the shallot and about 1 tablespoon of the vinaigrette and cook the mixture over moderate heat, stirring, until the shallot is softened. Remove the skillet from the heat, add the scallops, and shake the skillet to coat them with the vinaigrette. In another bowl toss the remaining vinaigrette with the watercress, the carrot, and the corn, divide the salad between 2 dinner plates, and arrange half the scallops around each salad.

The sauteed watercress is also great served with seared steak -- just substitute a big pinch of red-pepper flakes for the ginger and omit the sesame seeds.

SAUTéED SCALLOPS



Sautéed Scallops image

Sea scallops and bay scallops differ in size and sweetness. They also cook a little differently. I love a good hard sear on a sea scallop, a little crust, and a splash of wine in the butter at the end to provide a silky acidity against the sweet of the meat. For the tiny, sweet bay scallop, though, I prefer a gentle butter bath. Whichever you cook, be very careful not to overcook. Indeed, there is almost no such thing as an undercooked scallop.

Categories     seafood, main course

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound sea scallops, patted dry
Kosher salt, to taste
1 tablespoon dry white vermouth or white wine
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place a large sauté pan or skillet over medium-high heat, and add to it 3 tablespoons of the butter. When it has melted and started to foam, place the scallops in the pan in a single layer, and season with a pinch or two of salt.
  • Cook scallops without moving until the bottoms are golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes, then turn them over, add the wine and cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
