Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Balsamic Sea Scallops with Glaze.
Step 1
Begin by gently patting the scallops dry with a paper towel to eliminate any excess moisture, which is essential for achieving that perfect sear.
Step 2
Season both sides generously with seafood seasoning, salt, and pepper to enhance their natural flavor.
Step 3
In a large skillet, combine butter and canola oil, heating them over medium-high until they shimmer.
Step 4
Carefully place the scallops in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd them; this allows for a beautiful golden crust to form.
Step 5
Sear each side for about three minutes, watching closely to avoid overcooking.
Step 6
Once they are perfectly browned, transfer the scallops to a warm plate and cover them to retain their heat.
Step 7
In the same skillet, pour in dry white wine, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard.
Step 8
Stir continuously over medium heat, scraping up the flavorful browned bits from the skillet's bottom.
Step 9
Allow the mixture to simmer until it thickens into a luscious glaze, which should take around three to four minutes.
Step 10
Finally, drizzle this rich balsamic glaze over the scallops and, if you like, sprinkle with freshly chopped tarragon for a touch of elegance.
Step 11
Enjoy this delightful dish that brings a taste of the sea right to your table!.
