Ingredients

• 12 pieces Sea scallops
• 2 tablespoons White miso paste
• 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (neutral, like vegetable or canola oil)
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chives (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the scallops dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps them develop a nice sear.

Step 2

Season both sides of the scallops with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, soy sauce, grated ginger, rice vinegar, honey, and heavy cream until smooth. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the cooking oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the scallops in the pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Sear for 2-3 minutes on one side, without moving them, until a golden crust forms.

Step 6

Flip the scallops and add the unsalted butter to the pan. Tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to baste the scallops with the melted butter. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove scallops from the pan and set aside on a plate.

Step 7

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and pour in the miso sauce mixture. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 8

Plate the scallops and drizzle the warm miso sauce over them.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately.
