Place a steamer basket in a small pot with the water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add the asparagus, cover, and steam for 5 to 7 minutes until tender-crisp. Transfer to a plate and drizzle with the lemon juice.
While the asparagus steams, season the patted-dry scallops on both sides with the salt and black pepper.
Coat a 12-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the scallops in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes without moving them to develop a golden crust, flip, and cook for 2 minutes more. Done when opaque and firm, 145°F.
