Ingredients | Fresh Sea Scallops Price Per Pound

12 sea scallops, tough muscles removed

½ lemon, juiced

sea salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon butter

1 teaspoon lemon zest

Directions

Pat sea scallops dry with paper towels. Season with some lemon juice, salt, and pepper on one side.

Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over high heat. Place scallops in the skillet seasoned-side down. Cook until browned on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Season with remaining lemon juice, salt, and pepper; flip. Continue cooking until opaque, about 2 minutes more. Garnish with lemon zest.

Make sure the scallops are dry; they will sear better. Also, once the scallops are placed in the pan, do not move them until it is time to flip them over. Again this keeps a good sear.
