INGREDIENTS
6 oz Sea Scallops
1 cup Asparagus
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1/2 Lemon
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place them on a baking sheet.
Drizzle the asparagus with olive oil, add minced garlic, salt, and pepper, and toss to combine.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Meanwhile, pat the scallops dry with a paper towel and season them lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the scallops in the skillet and sear for about 2-3 minutes per side until they develop a golden crust.
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the scallops during the last minute of cooking.
Plate the scallops alongside the roasted asparagus and enjoy immediately.
