This recipe is all about mayo! I came across this recipe when I saw that someone was burning miso, and I thought how did I not think about that! The sweetness from the butter notes is really highlighted in this aioli. You’ll want to put on everything!
Yield: 2 Servings
2-4 Diver Scallops, cleaned
1 recipe Brown Butter Miso Aioli
1 Blood Orange
½ tsp Balsamic
1 T Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Butter
2 Tbsp Cilantro, torn
Working over a bowl, segment blood orange and slice pieces in half. Squeeze remaining juice into the bowl with segments. Add balsamic and olive oil and a pinch of salt. Gently stir and set aside.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Season scallops with salt and pepper. Add a splash of oil and sear scallops for 1 ½ – 2 minutes, until deep golden brown. Add butter to the pan, flip scallops and sear other-side. Use a spoon to glaze scallops in butter. Cook for another 2 minutes and remove to a plate.
Spread 1/2 cup brown butter miso onto a plate, top with seared scallops and drizzle with blood orange vinaigrette and segments.
Save remaining aioli for up to 4 days and use on a delicious grilled chicken dish, hamburgers or your favorite cut of steak!
