Ingredients | Pan Seared Monkfish Recipe

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 small shallot, minced

1 lemon, juiced

12 sea scallops

1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, or to taste

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot; cook and stir until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in lemon juice and cook until evaporated, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits, about 3 minutes.

Place scallops 1/2 inch apart in the skillet. Cook until browned on the bottom, about 1 minute. Flip and continue cooking until the second side is deeply browned, about 1 minute more.

Transfer scallops to a serving plate; season with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley.

Substitute 1/4 cup minced yellow onion for the shallot if preferred.
