INGREDIENTS
7 oz Sea Scallops (~198g)
1 quarter Avocado (~50g)
2 tbsp Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt (~30g)
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (~4.5g)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice (~15g)
1 tbsp Fresh Cilantro (chopped, ~4g)
6 Asparagus Spears (~90g)
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for roasting the asparagus.
Trim the tough ends off the asparagus and toss them with a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for about 10-12 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.
Meanwhile, pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the scallops. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden crust and are just opaque in the center.
In a small bowl combine the Greek yogurt, diced avocado (mash slightly), lemon juice, chopped cilantro, and olive oil. Mix until you achieve a creamy dressing consistency. Adjust salt and pepper as needed.
Plate the pan-seared scallops alongside the roasted asparagus and drizzle with the citrus-avocado dressing.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, protein-packed meal.
