INGREDIENTS
6 oz Sea Scallops (170g)
1 cup Asparagus (134g)
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 medium Lemon
1 clove Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Pat the sea scallops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Season the scallops lightly with salt and pepper. Add them to the pan and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms. Remove the scallops and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Toss in the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the asparagus to the skillet. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
Zest the lemon over the asparagus and squeeze in the juice. Stir in chopped fresh parsley for a burst of herb flavor.
Return the scallops to the pan briefly, warming them through while allowing the flavors to meld with the asparagus.
Plate the scallops alongside the lemon-herb asparagus and serve immediately.
