How to Make Butter-Basted Scallops with Watercress & Charred Corn

1. Prepare the Red Onion

Slice the red onion thinly and soak it in a bowl of iced water for about 15 minutes.

2. Grill the Corn

Rub the ears of corn with a tablespoon of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Grill for about 10 minutes, until charred and tender. Cut the kernels off the cobs.

3. Assemble the Salad

In a large bowl, toss the watercress with apple cider vinegar, the chilled onion, another tablespoon of olive oil, and the grilled corn kernels.

4. Cook the Scallops

Pat the scallops dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet, add the scallops, and sear for 3 minutes. Flip the scallops, add butter, and baste for 1-2 minutes.

5. Serve the Dish

Spoon the scallops and pan juices over the salad and serve with lemon wedges.
