Steps:
- Heat butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Pat scallops dry and add to the hot pan; sear until caramelized, 6 to 7 minutes, flipping halfway.

- Prepare dressing by mixing remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, shallot, mustard, honey, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.
- Add seared scallops to the salad and mix to combine. Drizzle dressing over top.

PAN-SEARED SCALLOPS WITH FENNEL PUREE
Steps:
- Sear scallops If necessary, remove the small, tough muscle (called the adductor) found on the side of the scallops (often the fishmonger will have removed it), then slice each scallop in half horizontally so that you have twelve pieces. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Season scallops on both sides with salt. When pan is hot, add enough oil to coat bottom of pan (about 1 tablespoon), and swirl to coat evenly. Working in batches to avoid crowding pan, add scallops and quickly jerk the pan to keep them from sticking. Sear until lightly golden, about 45 seconds; with an offset spatula, turn over and cook until opaque throughout, about 30 seconds more (be careful not to turn too soon or the scallops may tear). Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels and cover to keep warm (if necessary). Repeat with more oil and remaining scallops.
- Serve Heat fennel puree in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm. Spoon 1 tablespoon puree onto each of 12 small plates and top with a scallop slice. Garnish with fennel fronds, and serve.
SEARED SCALLOPS WITH RED CHILE PASTE AND FENNEL SALAD
Scallops: so meaty and delicious and yet so easy to overcook. That's why we sear these on only one side, preserving the meltingly tender, near-raw texture on the other end.
