INGREDIENTS
5 oz Scallops
0.75 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 cup Green Beans
0.5 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Orange Zest
2 Tbsp Fresh Herbs
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is shimmering, add the scallops and sear for about 2 minutes on each side until they are golden and just opaque in the center. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the green beans and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until they are crisp-tender. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, prepare the quinoa by warming it slightly if needed. In a bowl, mix the quinoa with lemon juice, orange zest, and chopped fresh herbs for a zesty, fresh flavor.
Plate the quinoa as a base, arrange the sautéed green beans around it, and top with the seared scallops.
Drizzle any remaining pan juices over the dish and serve immediately.
