If you're looking for a quick weekday meal, look no further than some seared scallops. They don't take much time to cook up, and make for a very tasty meal. The sweet scallop is perfectly complimented by the salty and umami from the miso paste.
You'll want to start by patting your scallops dry.
Then we mixed up a marinade of miso paste, mirin, rice vinegar, ginger, and a touch of sesame oil. We used this
recipe as a guide. We let the scallops marinate in the sauce for about 30 minutes while we prepped our sugar snap peas and toasted up some almonds.
When you're ready to cook your scallops, get your pan nice and hot. Place your scallops in the pan, and let them get a nice, golden brown sear before flipping them. Searing them gives them not only a great taste but nice textural component as well. Be sure to keep your attention on the pan, they only take a few minutes to cook on each side.
We topped our scallops with some freshly chopped scallions, and had a nice little salad of mixed greens, sugar snap peas, and almonds. The outcome is a fresh, sophisticated, warm weather dish that looks as great as it tastes. That's it--quick, simple, and delicious!
