    How to Make Sautéed Scallops with Salsa Verde

    1. Prepare the Scallops

    Gently remove the small side muscle from each scallop to ensure even cooking. Once cleaned, season the scallops generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

    2. Heat the Pan

    Heat a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until it’s hot. Pour in enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. The oil should shimmer when it’s ready.

    3. Cook the Scallops

    Place the seasoned scallops in a single layer in the hot pan, ensuring they are not crowded. Sear them for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they release easily from the pan and have a golden-brown color.

    4. Serve with Salsa Verde

    Arrange the cooked scallops on a serving platter and generously spoon salsa verde over the top. Serve immediately.
