Ingredients
- 12 large fresh sea scallops
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped

Directions
Step 1
Begin by cleaning the scallops. Remove the side muscle if it is attached and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
Place the scallops in the freezer for about 10 minutes—just enough to firm up, which makes them easier to slice.
Step 3
Using a sharp knife, slice the scallops horizontally into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 4
Arrange the scallop slices evenly on a flat serving plate.
Step 5
In a small bowl, combine the extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, lime juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until emulsified.
Step 6
Drizzle the citrus dressing evenly over the scallops.
Step 7
Sprinkle the chopped dill over the scallops for an herbal note.
Step 8
Neatly layer the radish slices, diced avocado, and microgreens over the scallops.
Step 9
Scatter the capers across the plate for pops of briny flavor.
Step 10
Finish by sprinkling the lemon and lime zest on top for added aromatic citrus notes.
Step 11
Serve immediately as a refreshing and light starter, or chill for 5 minutes if desired.
