Savor the delicate sweetness of pan-seared scallops paired with crisp, garlic herb roasted asparagus in this light yet satisfying dish. The fresh lemon and parsley infuse the seafood with a burst of vibrancy, creating a beautifully balanced meal that's both elegant and heart-healthy.
INGREDIENTS
8 ounces Sea Scallops
1 bunch Asparagus (approx. 200g)
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Trim the tough ends off the asparagus. On a baking sheet, toss the asparagus with half of the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until tender-crisp.
Meanwhile, pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the scallops and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden crust and are opaque in the center.
Remove the scallops from the skillet and drizzle with fresh lemon juice.
Plate the scallops alongside the roasted asparagus, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, protein-rich meal.
