Ingredients
- 12 large sea scallops
- 1 lemon
- 1 lime
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon chives
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 small radish
- 1 tablespoon capers
Directions
Step 1
Place the scallops in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm. It's easier to slice them thinly when they are slightly frozen.
Step 2
Using a very sharp knife, slice the scallops horizontally into thin discs, about 1/8 inch thick.
Step 3
Arrange the scallop slices evenly on a chilled platter, slightly overlapping them.
Step 4
In a small bowl, zest and juice the lemon and lime. Add in the extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Step 5
Drizzle the citrus dressing evenly over the scallops.
Step 6
Finely chop the fresh dill and chives. Sprinkle them over the scalloped slices.
Step 7
Thinly slice the radishes using a mandoline or sharp knife. Scatter radish slices and capers over the carpaccio.
Step 8
Cover the platter with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 9
Serve the scallop carpaccio chilled, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
