INGREDIENTS:

-4-5 Scallops per person

-2 Tbl Avocado Oil

-4 Tbl Honey Soy Glaze

-Zest, Juice and segments of an Orange, to taste

-1/4 cup thinly sliced Scallions

-Cilantro to taste

-Salt and Pepper to taste

-Sesame Seeds to taste

STEPS:

1. Remove scallops from packaging and pat dry with paper towel, dry them as much as possible.
2. Season scallops with Salt & Pepper
3. Get a sauté pan hot. Once the pan is hot - add your avocado oil.
4. Let the oil get hot, until shimmering.
5. Before adding your scallops, again, make sure they are dry. Gently add them to the pan, setting them in away from you. Therefore if the oil spits - you aren't getting burned.
6. Do not try to move the scallops until they release from the pan - this is when your sear is hard enough. If your scallops are sticking, let them be.
7. Once they release and you are able to flip them, flip for a quick 45 seconds on side two.
8. Remove from the pan and place them on paper towel or a wire rack, they are going to purge.
9. While scallops rest for a minute, combine Honey Soy Glaze, Fresh squeezed orange juice, and orange zest. Mix well and plate at the bottom of your serving dish.
10. Add your scallops to the plate and garnish with scallions, cilantro and sesame seeds.
11. Enjoy!
