Seared scallops are a delicacy often associated with coastal cuisines, particularly Mediterranean, New England, and Japanese dishes. They are made by lightly seasoning fresh scallops and pan-searing them in a small amount of oil or butter until golden on the outside and tender within. Scallops are rich in high-quality protein and provide essential nutrients like vitamin B12, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. They are naturally low in fat and calories, making them an excellent choice for a balanced diet. However, preparation methods that involve excessive butter or heavy sauces can increase calorie and fat content. When enjoyed with simple seasonings or paired with nutrient-dense sides like leafy greens and whole grains, seared scallops offer a flavorful yet health-conscious option for seafood lovers. Their mild taste and tender texture make them a versatile addition to many culinary styles.
