Scallops with Mustard-Miso Sauce

August 16, 2012 by Jaida 1 Comment

I love seafood. I would probably marry it if I could. And scallops…oh my. I love them almost as much as I love shrimp. And I reeeeaaaalllly love shrimp!
I’ve yet to try a scallop recipe at home that I wasn’t over the moon for, but this one, I think, is my favorite so far. It was quick to prepare, and the combination of the Asian flavors and the mustard made my tastebuds sing with delight!! I even used the leftover sauce to pour over my leftover rice. Mmm!
I have a friend who had never had scallops and tried to make them at home, but just cooked them in olive oil with no other seasoning and wasn’t a big fan.Ā So I told him that I’d either share the recipes I’ve tried, or just cook some for him, because I can’t have my friends not liking scallops!! I think this one might be the one I share or make for him, because I can’t imagine the reaction being anything less than amazed!! šŸ™‚
Of course, it’s not likely to turn a seafood hater (not MY friends!) into a lover, but for anyone on the fence…it will surely push them over to the right side!!!

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds scallops
  • 2Ā Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 2 Tbsp mirin
  • 3 TbspĀ rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp soy sauce

  • 1 tsp mustard
  • 2 tsp water
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame seeds

Preparation

  1. Heat a nonstickĀ skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the scallops and cook for 1 minute each side to brown. Remove the scallopsĀ to a plate and tent with tin foil to keep warm.
  2. Reduce the heat to medium andĀ add the butter, mirin, rice vinegar, soy sauce, miso, mustard and water. Stir well and when the sauce begins to bubble, add theĀ scallops back in andĀ finish cooking for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and serve! I served mine over brown rice. Yum!

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
