Description
This dish brings the taste of a fine seafood restaurant straight to your kitchen. I remember making it for an anniversary dinner—it was love at first bite. With golden-seared scallops and a sweet, tangy glaze, it’s a dish that feels both effortless and luxurious.
Ingredients
12 large sea scallops
¼ tsp seafood seasoning (like Old Bay)
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground black pepper
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp canola oil
½ cup dry white wine
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp chopped fresh tarragon (optional)
Instructions
Pat scallops dry and season with seafood seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat butter and oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear scallops 2–3 minutes per side until golden and opaque. Remove and keep warm.
In the same skillet, add wine, balsamic vinegar, and mustard. Simmer 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return scallops briefly to coat in glaze.
Garnish with fresh tarragon if using. Serve immediately.
