You must try these.
No no no! No arguing. Just sear them, serve them over a bed of spring greens and Crispy Kale Chips, and devour them while you float away on the that wispy cloud of aroma that is sweetly escaping these buttery medallions of the sea.
Am I making you hungry?
I kinda hope so… Because I’m making me hungry, and I don’t want to be hungry all alone!
These scallops are a little bit sweet, a little bit salty, and a whole lotta delicious. Simple, quick, healthy, mouth-watering. Who could ask for anything moooooore?!

Wow, those are gorgeous! I just bought some black sesame seeds for another recipe and wondered what I was going to do with a whole jar of them. Looks like I found my answer!
I have not thought to put sesame seeds on my scallops before. Why not? After all I am living in Asia… when in Rome…. you know how the rest of that goes… I can just picture how they are soft on the inside and caramelized on the outside. Take Care, BAM
YUM – thanks for sharing! Have a Great Weekend:)
This looks amazing! Maybe I will attempt it soon. I am always afraid to cook scallops because I overcook them.
Yes! The trick with scallops (and a lot of fish, too) is to sear them and never let them “fully” cook in the pan. Fish and seafood tend to cook quickly, and they continue to cook even after they’re removed from the heat. I’ve noticed how easy it is to overcook scallops and salmon especially!
These look perfectly delicious
Can’t wait to try this, sounds delicious, and low cal!
