Ingredients
- 8 large fresh sea scallops
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 sprigs fresh dill
- 0.5 cup microgreens or arugula
- 2 small radishes
- 1 tablespoon capers
Directions
Step 1
Begin by selecting fresh, high-quality scallops. Ask your fishmonger for dry, untreated scallops to better control the flavors.
Step 2
Carefully rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 3
Place the scallops on a cutting board and slice each scallop horizontally into thin, even slices, aiming for about 1/8-inch thickness.
Step 4
Arrange the scallop slices in a single layer on a large serving platter, ensuring they do not overlap.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, lime juice, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to create a dressing.
Step 6
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the arranged scallops, ensuring each slice is lightly coated.
Step 7
Cover the platter with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 10 minutes to allow the acid in the citrus juices to slightly 'cook' the scallops.
Step 8
While the scallops are chilling, finely chop the fresh dill and thinly slice the radishes.
Step 9
Remove the scallops from the refrigerator and garnish with chopped dill, placing small sprigs decoratively across the platter.
Step 10
Sprinkle the microgreens or the arugula over the scallops, adding a touch of green and freshness.
Step 11
Finish by scattering the thinly sliced radishes and capers across the scallops, adding a slight crunch and briny flavor.
Step 12
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing, sugar-free scallop carpaccio.
