Choose scallops that are “dry” (not stored in liquid preservatives). Larger is better; small ones could overcook before browning. Make sure to coat them thoroughly in oil before grilling so they don’t stick to the grate.

Prep Time

    •    Prep time: 5 minutes
    •    Cook time: 25 minutes
    •    Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

    •    lemony salsa verde
    •    2 tbsps vegetable oil, plus more for grilling
    •    12 large sea scallops, side muscle removed
    •    kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method: Prepare grill for medium-high heat; oil grate. Toss scallops with 2 Tbsp. oil on a baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Using a fish spatula or your hands, place scallops on grill, flat side down. Grill, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Serve scallops topped with Lemony Salsa Verde.
